Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Departmental Communications (13 Dec 2017)

Gerry Adams: Now that the Minister for Health has said that the new children’s hospital is unlikely to be called the Phoenix, does the Taoiseach support the proposal that the hospital be named the Kathleen Lynn children's hospital? Many believe that so naming it would be a recognition of her important historic role in delivering medical care for the women and children of Dublin. It would be...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (13 Dec 2017)

Gerry Adams: With regard to the Taoiseach's forthcoming visit to the United States, does he have any news on the commitment by President Trump to appoint a special envoy to the North? Recently, Irish-American groups in the USA have reported that many undocumented Irish have seen an increase in the incidence of undocumented people being detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials....

European Council Meeting: Statements (13 Dec 2017)

Gerry Adams: Cuirim fáilte roimh na daoine as Gaoth Dobhair fosta. Is é an áit is fearr ar domhan, mura bhfuil a fhios ag éinne. Our spokesperson on Brexit will be able to speak on this because I am sharing my time with him.

European Council Meeting: Statements (13 Dec 2017)

Gerry Adams: Sinn Féin gave a very qualified welcome to the communiqué on Friday. Our approach was vindicated by subsequent contradictory statements from British Government Ministers. Of course, the joint report is not the conclusion of the process or the final binding legal deal on Brexit. It sets out broad principles and represents some progress, but there are many unanswered questions on...

European Council Meeting: Statements (13 Dec 2017)

Gerry Adams: Leanfaidh mé ar aghaidh. The Good Friday Agreement is the defining document and agreement which sets out the relationship between the people of this island and the people of these two islands. That includes the people in the North who, the Taoiseach said an Irish Government would never leave behind again. Let us be very clear about these positions. Even in the past 20 years, I...

Northern Ireland: Statements (13 Dec 2017)

Gerry Adams: Before I turn to the topic of tonight's debate, I commend the committee on the eighth amendment, which has voted to repeal Article 40.3.3o of the Constitution. I pay tribute to the Chairman of the committee, Senator Noone, and all who participated in the discussions and gave evidence. I commend in particular the Sinn Féin team, namely, Deputies O'Reilly and Jonathan O'Brien and Senator...

Northern Ireland: Statements (13 Dec 2017)

Gerry Adams: Last Friday, the Taoiseach said that Northern nationalists would never again be left behind by an Irish Government. Teachta Martin's phony outrage at this would be amusing if it was not such a serious issue. The reality is that nationalists in the North were abandoned for generations by successive Irish Governments, but today, like a broken record, Teachta Martin repeats the sham argument...

Northern Ireland: Statements (13 Dec 2017)

Gerry Adams: In his obsession, and it has become an obsession, he wants people in the North, who are living in a state that never wanted them, to meekly tolerate being treated as second class citizens. That might be the Fianna Fáil leader's way. He has brought being a hurler on the ditch into disrepute. He misleads the Dáil regularly with untruthful statements and puts words in my mouth that...

Leaders' Questions (16 Jan 2018)

Gerry Adams: Aontaím leis an Taoiseach i dtaca lena fhocail comhbhróin faoi bhás Dolores O'Riordan. Tá ár smaointí lena teaghlach agus a cairde ag an am brónach seo. On the questions put by the leader of Fianna Fáil, perhaps Deputy Micheál Martin will support Sinn Féin's Private Members' motion this evening on the trolley crisis. I return to the...

Leaders' Questions (16 Jan 2018)

Gerry Adams: I am disappointed with the Taoiseach's answer. Will he send me a detailed considered response in writing to the written proposal I put to him? I will respond to it at that time. It is welcome that the Taoiseach is saying he will not oppose our Private Members' motion. Ná habair é, déan é. He should not simply talk about it but act on the recommendations we are...

Order of Business (16 Jan 2018)

Gerry Adams: I am sorry for interrupting the leader of Fianna Fáil as he waffles on and on. In 2016, the Government committed to a hospital bed capacity review. This is crucial in the context of the trolley crisis in our emergency departments. It became so serious last week that Tallaght hospital had to place adults in a children's ward. According to trolley watch, 98,981 admitted patients were on...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (16 Jan 2018)

Gerry Adams: 2. To ask the Taoiseach when Cabinet Committee B, social policy and public services, last met; and when it is scheduled to meet again. [52880/17]

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (16 Jan 2018)

Gerry Adams: I am just trying to figure out how this committee could work and am looking at some of the contradictions that arise. One of the contradictions arising relates to the significant increase in cyberbullying directed at children as well as in online predators. The Taoiseach knows that digital technology plays an increasingly major role in the lives of young people and is a tremendous...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Ministerial Dialogue (16 Jan 2018)

Gerry Adams: Obviously, the whole-of-government approach, as it is described, is a perfectly sensible way to come at things. However, what we want is delivery, action and a joined-up approach. There has been failure to deal with these major crises. I keep coming back to this point - I imagine every other Deputy has the same experience. There is unnecessary stress in the lives of people, especially...
