European Council Meeting: Statements (14 Dec 2011)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach should have read on from the part he quoted. He claims this rule needs to be defined but he has already conceded on it. The agreement states: "It will be defined by each Member State on the basis of principles proposed by the Commission. We recognise the jurisdiction of the Court of Justice to verify the transposition of this rule at national level." It has already been...

Leaders' Questions (11 Jan 2012)

Gerry Adams: Maith thú. Athbhliain úr faoi mhaise don Cheann Comhairle agus don Taoiseach agus dá dteaghlaigh. Tá súil agam go raibh Nollaig maith acu. Bhí mé ag féachaint ar an teilifís ag an Nollaig ar daoine ag filleadh abhaile agus ansin ag fágáil arís. Bhí sé truamhéalach. Tá a fhios ag an Taoiseach nach gá go mbeadh orthu imeacht dá mbeadh postanna á cruthú dóibh anseo....

Leaders' Questions (11 Jan 2012)

Gerry Adams: We will support the Taoiseach. We have made many positive suggestions and propositions to assist job retention and job creation. We also welcome any investment. However, this situation does not add up. Some €3.1 billion of taxpayers' money is to be paid in March in respect of a promissory note to someone. The Taoiseach is not ag éisteacht liom. Some €3.1 billion is to be paid to a...

Leaders' Questions (11 Jan 2012)

Gerry Adams: In this light, €20 million for job creation does not add up. The people are looking for hope. Sinn Féin is hopeful, as people are increasingly realising that the Government is on the wrong road. Will the Taoiseach reflect again instead of giving his usual stock answer? This is a new year and the Government is relatively new, although some believe it is Fianna Fáil recycled. We want a...

Order of Business (11 Jan 2012)

Gerry Adams: I wish to raise two issues. The first is under reachtaíocht atá fógraithe, promised legislation, and the Ceann Comhairle might let me come back to raise another issue. The legislative programme contains a commitment to introduce a workplace relations law reform Bill. Since 16 December, through the Christmas period, workers at Vita Cortex in Cork have been engaged in a sit-in because of...

Order of Business (11 Jan 2012)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach made a commitment to hold a number of meetings with Opposition leaders. One related to the upcoming constitutional convention and another to alleged abuse in Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda. I note that the Taoiseach is meeting the British Prime Minister tomorrow. Does he intend to brief us in advance of the meeting?

Private Members' Business, Special Educational Needs: Motion (11 Jan 2012)

Gerry Adams: One of the most unfair and morally reprehensible cuts announced in December's budget was the decision to increase pupil-teacher ratios in DEIS band 1 and DEIS band 2 schools, and the phasing out of legacy posts. I would have presumed that would have gone against the core political values of the Minister, as a long-standing Labour Deputy. It is a far cry from the Proclamation and cherishing...

Private Members' Business, Special Educational Needs: Motion (11 Jan 2012)

Gerry Adams: They are not here because they will not face up to this issue. I will dispense with that part of my script because there is no use in talking to myself. DEIS schools play a huge role in children's education. Another matter is the issue of guidance councillors. Apart from guidance such councillors give on careers, education and so on, they are the first port of call for many children with...
