Suicide Prevention: Statements (7 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: Tá mé fíor-bhuíoch dóibh siúd a chuir an t-ábhar tábhachtach seo ar an chlár inniu. Tá an Teachta Dan Neville ag déanamh sár obair ar an ábhar seo le blianta anuas agus táimid buíoch dó.

Legislative Programme (12 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: I agree the last Government ran the country onto the rocks, but that is no excuse for this Government to do it again.

Legislative Programme (12 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: One of the Bills promised for the summer session is the electoral commission Bill. The last Government also promised to establish an independent electoral commission. An mbeidh an coimisiún seo freagrach as vótóirí a chlárú? An nglacann an Taoiseach leis go bhfuil an córas clárúcháin lochtach agus go bhfuil gá ann chun é a leasú? Will the Taoiseach clarify whether this will...

Easter Rising Centenary (12 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: The coming decade is filled with many important anniversaries, including the signing of the Ulster covenant, the 1913 lockout, the Easter Rising and the general election of 1918. Aontaím leis an Taoiseach go bhfuil a lán suim ag muintir na tíre agus daoine eile ar fud an domhain san ábhar seo. Tá a fhios ag an Taoiseach gur bhain mná agus fir páirt san eirí amach ar son saoirse na...

Easter Rising Centenary (12 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: I commend the designation of that quarter. It is a hugely historical site encompassing the withdrawal from the GPO up Moore Street and up Moore Lane, the meeting and decision to surrender, where O'Rahilly was killed, where the surrender was handed over, the Rotunda where Tom Clarke was stripped naked in front of a British garrison and where Tom Clarke's shop is now hidden behind a plastic...

Easter Rising Centenary (12 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: On a point of information, if I heard the Taoiseach correctly, he said this is the area where the State was first recognised. That is not the case, this is the area in which a totally different State was proclaimed. It took a counterrevolution to create this State.

European Council Meetings (12 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: Tá sé soléir nach bhfuil morán dul chun cinn déanta ag an Rialtas lenár bpairtnéiri san EU. As an observer, it strikes me that no progress has been made in recent engagement with the EU partners. During the period under consideration the debt here has increased-----

European Council Meetings (12 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: These policies have had the same effect in Greece, increasing their debt. The debt has increased here. The banking debt is unsustainable. Does the Taoiseach believe that rolling out these policies will lead to different results and to increasing the burden on ordinary people? Would it not be better to make it clear to our partners in Europe that this is not sustainable? Leaving aside...

European Council Meetings (12 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: Aontaím leis an Taoiseach faoin Rialtas deireanach. I agree with what the Taoiseach had to say in regard to the last Government. He is correct that it created this legacy and that its policies were wrong. Why then repeat them? I never said that we are not moving. We are moving: we are moving backwards. There needs to be a change of tactics. Politics is at all times a matter of...

Leaders' Questions (12 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: Would the Taoiseach agree that the IMF statement yesterday is proof that the IMF-EU deal is a disaster for Ireland? As revealed yesterday, the figures this deal is based on are false. The deal and the international lending agreements which underpin it are good for the big bankers and their bondholders, but very bad for Irish taxpayers. However, at every turn the Government recommits to...

Leaders' Questions (12 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: In case the Taoiseach does not know it, the IMF halved its growth prediction to 0.5%. It is reckoned there will be a shortfall of €1 billion in the Exchequer finances. The Taoiseach talks about a jobs budget. Will he introduce more cuts? He has given away the National Pensions Reserve Fund to the big banks. We proposed that it should be used for a jobs stimulus package. The Taoiseach...

Leaders' Questions (12 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: Why will the Taoiseach not consider a third tax band? Why can he not consider exploiting natural resources for the common good, including offshore oil and gas resources? Why can he not tell the IMF and the EU that we wish to run our own affairs? We cannot always blame Fianna Fáil for what Fine Gael and the Labour Party is doing. Fianna Fáil has its responsibility but the Taoiseach is...
