Ceisteanna - Questions: Diplomatic Representation (3 Oct 2017)

Gerry Adams: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Taoiseach as ucht a chuid freagra. The Ireland's Global Footprint 2025 plan is lacking in detail about its implementation. No one could argue with the intentions of the plan - attracting greater investment, boosting tourism and trade, building stronger links with the diaspora and increasing cultural exchanges. These are aims that Sinn Féin certainly...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Overseas Visits (3 Oct 2017)

Gerry Adams: It is a good thing that CETA was discussed by the Taoiseach and the Canadian Prime Minister, Mr. Trudeau, in August but it is a great pity that the CETA deal has not been debated in the Dáil. The Taoiseach must be well aware of the concern among farmers, workers and small and medium-sized indigenous companies over the implications of the CETA deal, which has been provisionally in force...

Leaders' Questions (4 Oct 2017)

Gerry Adams: This morning, members of the Irish Farmers Association have gathered at the European Commission's office in Dublin to protest against the Commission's offer of a 70,000 tonne beef quota to Argentina, Brazil and other Mercosur countries, as reported recently. All the main farming organisations across this island have quite rightly opposed this move. Farming organisations agree that there...

Leaders' Questions (4 Oct 2017)

Gerry Adams: I assure the Taoiseach that I am an avid watcher of his videos. I think he could relax a wee bit in terms of his delivery but so far, so good. He is doing not so badly.

Leaders' Questions (4 Oct 2017)

Gerry Adams: I would commend Twitter to him as well as a means of communication with the masses. There is no ambiguity in Sinn Féin's attitude to the European Union. We are quite rightly critical of a two tier Europe. I asked the Taoiseach to intervene in very plain words and very direct language and he said - he can correct me if I am wrong - that he is against an offer of this scale. That is...

Leaders' Questions (4 Oct 2017)

Gerry Adams: We know what it is.

Questions on Promised Legislation (4 Oct 2017)

Gerry Adams: Ba mhaith liom ceist a chur ar an Taoiseach faoin mhéid atá i gclár an Rialtais i dtaobh an drugs payment scheme. Tá an clár an-soiléir faoi shaoránaigh mhíchumasacha. The programme for Government is very clear that citizens with disabilities should be supported. Yesterday I attended a briefing in the audiovisual room hosted by Seanadóir Rose...

Questions on Promised Legislation (4 Oct 2017)

Gerry Adams: William faces a similar fate. In keeping with the Government's commitment in the programme for Government, will the Taoiseach instruct the Minister for Health and the HSE to facilitate the availability of Translarna by agreeing to reimburse the cost and giving these lads a chance to fulfil the potential they have?

Questions on Promised Legislation (4 Oct 2017)

Gerry Adams: We have done so. The Taoiseach should note that Translarna is available in the North.

Questions on Promised Legislation (4 Oct 2017)

Gerry Adams: I will do so. I am sure these parents would be edified by the Taoiseach's partitionist approach to these ailments.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (4 Oct 2017)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach's reply refers to a lot of contact, which is appropriate given the urgency of the situation and the centrality of the Brexit issue. It is difficult to know what the outcome will be because it is hard to figure out the Government's position on some of these issues. I refer in particular to the decision by the European Court of Justice. The European Commission confirmed today...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Ministerial Responsibilities (4 Oct 2017)

Gerry Adams: 8. To ask the Taoiseach if he will report on the delegation orders he has made in respect of Ministers of State assigned to his Department. [40533/17]

Ceisteanna - Questions: Ministerial Responsibilities (4 Oct 2017)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach has made many commitments on the issue of political reform. When I look at the delegation of responsibilities to various Ministers, it seems very light. There is also a commitment to examine the creation of unpaid roles of parliamentary private secretaries, as well an examination of the balance of power and responsibilities between the Government and the Civil Service. As far...
