Order of Business (6 Dec 2011)

Gerry Adams: I am not asking for a debate. I simply note the Taoiseach avoided the question.

Order of Business (6 Dec 2011)

Gerry Adams: It is a bit like Éamon de Valera and Michael Collins in that the Taoiseach will talk to Members on his return next week. I asked the Taoiseach whether he will share the Van Rompuy paper with the Opposition.

Leaders' Questions (7 Dec 2011)

Gerry Adams: I agree with a section of the Fine Gael manifesto. It reads: "In any Republic the people are supposed to be supreme. Judged by that standard Ireland today is a Republic in name only." The Government's budget shows this to be 100% the truth. We can have a genuine republic if we acknowledge that the word "citizens" includes citizens with disabilities, women, the elderly, the sick and the...

Leaders' Questions (7 Dec 2011)

Gerry Adams: I am sorry. I do not want to interrupt the Taoiseach's conversation, but I want him to listen to me. A Government that listens needs to listen proactively.

Leaders' Questions (7 Dec 2011)

Gerry Adams: The Government has indicated the withdrawal of funding to people with disabilities. This is the self-advocacy group. Will the Taoiseach instruct the Minister, Deputy Burton, to abandon these and other dreadful cuts? Forget about reviews. Something is right or wrong and the Taoiseach has acknowledged that this cut is wrong. The cut in the fuel allowance will have a severe impact and is...

Leaders' Questions (7 Dec 2011)

Gerry Adams: The phasing out of additional payments is also wrong. In keeping with what the Taoiseach has just stated, will he instruct the Minister to restore all of this necessary funding?

Leaders' Questions (7 Dec 2011)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach did not answer the question; he tried to divert attention away from the core issue and misquoted people affected. It is not about children under 16 years of age, although that will be the case if this measure goes through; it is about children under 18 years of age who are affected. Níl a fhios agam cad a dhéanfaidh an Rialtas as seo amach faoi cheisteanna móra mar seo....

Leaders' Questions (7 Dec 2011)

Gerry Adams: -----ach ní féidir leo é sin a dhéanamh ar feadh i bhfad. The Taoiseach will not get away with this. He has already acknowledged that this is a mistake; the best way to rectify a mistake is to say he has got it wrong, that this is a Government which listens and is going to put matters right. He has not done this, even though he has had the opportunity to do so. The Bill is to be...

Order of Business (7 Dec 2011)

Gerry Adams: I wish to raise two issues. First, I welcome the Ceann Comhairle's remarks about behaviour in the Chamber.

Order of Business (7 Dec 2011)

Gerry Adams: Unfortunately, some Members are not listening to what the Ceann Comhairle is saying. In light of the Taoiseach's decision to send back the disability payment for review, is the budget equality-proofed in line with the Government's-----
