Leaders' Questions (22 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: Rogha atá ann, aontaím leis an Taoiseach faoi sin. Tá mé ar lorg freagra simplí don cheist agus go mbeidh an Taoiseach soiléir nach mbeidh aon ghearradh siar ann do pháistí. Ní ceart don Taoiseach a rá nach bhfuil an díospóireacht fós críochnaithe. I ask the Taoiseach to take the opportunity to be as clear on this issue as he has been on others which benefit the elites. He...

Leaders' Questions (22 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: All I am asking is that he be equally clear in stating the red-line promises made at the time of the election will be maintained in the budget and making it clear it will not provide for cuts in child benefit.

Leaders' Questions (22 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: What about the children? Forget about the Ministers.

Carbon Trading (22 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: I agree that climate change and its consequences is probably one of the biggest challenges facing humanity at this time. The Taoiseach may be correct in saying that Ireland is on course to meet the Kyoto targets but currently Ireland's emissions are still above those targets. The production of carbon is a major factor in that respect. How much of taxpayers' money has been spent buying...

Carbon Trading (22 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: Going beyond the rhetoric we need to pursue clean energy projects. There is much sense in the comments of Deputy Higgins. I look forward to receiving that information from the Taoiseach.

Official Engagements (22 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach may be interested or amused to hear that a little bet is made in our office about how many questions he will take all at once. When one of my comrades said he would take Nos. 2 to 30 I said no, that he would not take as many as that, but he did. It is challenging for us in terms of assisting us to get information when 28 questions are taken together. I am sure if the...

Official Engagements (22 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: What sovereignty? Could the Taoiseach explain sovereignty?

Official Engagements (22 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: I make it very clear that the Dáil should have the documents discussed in the German Parliament and any other documents of which we are not aware. I do not want to read about this in the newspaper next week to discover that we have been ignored once again. When I asked about whether substantive treaty change would be put to a referendum, the Taoiseach replied that he cannot give any...

Order of Business (22 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: I came here to oppose the Order of Business but as the Ceann Comhairle has pointed out, there is no proposition. I oppose it because I want to ask for a debate on this issue. It is entirely legitimate for the Taoiseach to set time to one side for this. When the news first broke, the Taoiseach said he had no idea how this happened, while the Tánaiste said he was confused. The Minister for...

Order of Business (22 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: The problem is that we cannot have a debate here but they can have a debate in Germany.
