Topical Issue Debate: Services for People with Disabilities (29 Mar 2017)

Gerry Adams: I thank the Minister of State for being present. It is no exaggeration to say that people with disabilities and their families in my constituency of Louth-East Meath and across this State are being treated deplorably.

Brexit: Statements (4 Apr 2017)

Gerry Adams: The publication of the European Union's draft Brexit negotiating guidelines demonstrate clearly the failure of the Taoiseach's approach to the threat posed to the island of Ireland by Brexit.

Gerry Adams: I will not take lectures from the Taoiseach about my responsibilities or, indeed, the responsibilities of Sinn Féin.
