Ceisteanna - Questions: Brexit Issues (31 Jan 2017)

Gerry Adams: If I could make a very brief proposal, could we provide an extra five minutes to allow Teachta Howlin to put his question but perhaps the Taoiseach would also answer my question which he refused to do? With the agreement of Teachta Martin will you, a Cheann Comhairle, allow his colleague five minutes?

Ceisteanna - Questions: Official Engagements (31 Jan 2017)

Gerry Adams: The words of Donald Trump and now the decisions by President Trump have caused huge anger across the US and around the world, including in Ireland. His executive order halting the US refugee programme and the introduction of a travel ban on nationals from seven Muslim-majority countries is counterproductive and wrong. The Taoiseach has said as much in interviews and here in the Dáil...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Official Engagements (31 Jan 2017)

Gerry Adams: How would he know of the feeling of people here? How would he know if our leader, the head of Government, has not contacted him through the appropriate channels and told him this?

Leaders' Questions (1 Feb 2017)

Gerry Adams: Maith thú. Fair play duit. The management of Bus Éireann has announced measures that threaten the rights of bus workers, passengers and, in particular, the rights of citizens in rural Ireland. By slashing overtime and Sunday rates and cutting pay, the management is forcing the issue to an industrial dispute. This race to the bottom when it comes to workers' pay and conditions...

Foremost among those must be a commitment to a public bus service, which the Taoiseach has not given. Our public transport network has been in a perpetual state of crisis. Last year Luas and Dublin Bus workers were out on strike. There is a troubling rail...

Gerry Adams: I wish to ask the Taoiseach about three issues that may have been discussed at the meeting of the Cabinet Committee on European Affairs. I know the Taoiseach is limited in terms of what he can say. The first relates to the motion committing this State to taking in 200 children from the former migrant camp in Calais.

Ceisteanna - Questions: World Economic Forum (1 Feb 2017)

Gerry Adams: I, too, want to raise the issue of Apple and ask the Taoiseach if it was raised in Davos.
