Leaders' Questions (16 May 2017)

Gerry Adams: I note the comments of the Minister for Social Protection, Deputy Leo Varadkar, in County Donegal at the weekend that there should be no economic border between the North and the South. He also said we should advocate that the North should stay in the customs union and the Single Market and that any customs checks should be at ports and airports, not at land borders. He added that most...

Leaders' Questions (16 May 2017)

Gerry Adams: Not for a while. I look to the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government, Deputy Simon Coveney, to outline his position on this issue. For over four months, the Taoiseach has denied there will be customs checks along the Border. In fact, he denied that the Government was looking for locations for such checks even though that was patently untrue and was verified by the...

Leaders' Questions (16 May 2017)

Gerry Adams: In fact, the Six Counties do not belong to the United Kingdom under the Good Friday Agreement. The Agreement removed that claim. It is a temporary little device until the people decide they want a united Ireland.

Leaders' Questions (16 May 2017)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach says we will not have a hard border, but he does not tell us how he will prevent it from coming about. The Minister for Social Protection, Deputy Leo Varadkar, has rightly pointed out that there should be no economic border at all between the North and the South. Can the Taoiseach not say that? The Minister said we should advocate for the North to stay in the customs union...

Order of Business (16 May 2017)

Gerry Adams: The programme for Government commits to transparency and accountability. The Taoiseach coined the phrase, "Paddy needs to know". Paddy wants to know. The issue of phone tapping has been raised by many Deputies following news reports that the phone of a PA of a sitting Deputy was tapped. As I understand it, it was someone who was in the Opposition and in the same constituency as a...

Order of Business (16 May 2017)

Gerry Adams: I raise this issue in the context of interception legislation. The allegations involve phone taps which had not been properly cleared and, therefore, could not have been part of the judge's reports. As the Taoiseach went on to say it had happened in the early 2000s, he knows exactly what happened. As he has the reports, why can we not be told? Why can he not tell us what happened, who was...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (16 May 2017)

Gerry Adams: In the course of giving his report on his engagement with the Prime Ministers of The Netherlands and Denmark the Taoiseach said he had told them that all of Ireland's concerns were contained in the negotiating guidelines. That brings us to the essential flaw in the Government's position. The Dáil supports special status for the North within the European Union, but that is not within...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (16 May 2017)

Gerry Adams: 5. To ask the Taoiseach if he will report on his conversation with the British Prime Minister, Ms Theresa May, on 18 April 2017 following her announcement of a general election. [21952/17]

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (16 May 2017)

Gerry Adams: I welcome the Taoiseach's assertion to the British Prime Minister that there should be no return to British direct rule in the North. He is very conscious of the reason why the political institutions fell. They fell on the back of the RHI scandal, an issue that, at the very least, is one of misgovernance. All of the others issues which have not been resolved have become part of the very...
