- Leaders' Questions (15 Nov 2011)
Gerry Adams: On 4 November, the Taoiseach indicated he would consider introducing legislation to compel the banks to pass on to customers the ECB interest rate reduction.

The Taoiseach called on the banks to do the right...
- Leaders' Questions (15 Nov 2011)
Gerry Adams: I would never expect the banks to do anything, given their involvement in the economic crisis we are trying to escape. I do not think the Taoiseach and his colleagues need the regulator to tell them what to do. They can see it in every constituency across this State. The Taoiseach spoke about straight answers. I would like to remind him of some of the Government's public interest directors...

Gerry Adams: Tá cuig cheist agam agus ba mhaith liom go leor ama. The Taoiseach stated there were no plans to bring forward a new programme for Government. This is very disappointing. Any review of his term so far would show that it has been marked by the number of times he has departed from the programme for Government. The Taoiseach promised to renegotiate the EU-IMF deal and instead he has...
- Programmes for Government (15 Nov 2011)
Gerry Adams: I still want to commend our budget submission to the Taoiseach. If he takes the time to read it he might think it is of some assistance to him. Part of the problem is that the Taoiseach points out the things Fianna Fáil did wrong and then goes about doing exactly the same things all over again. The Taoiseach is trying to sell a very dead fish and it smells. He needs to be straight with...

Gerry Adams: I ask the Taoiseach to consider that point and the error of his ways. On the arrangement put in place last week, he said in four years time despite all the fiscal and other adjustments we will make there will still be almost 400,000 people unemployed. That is a signalling failure in advance.
