Ceisteanna - Questions: Brexit Issues (23 Nov 2016)

Gerry Adams: It is clear the British Government does not appear to have a real overall plan for Brexit, a point acknowledged by the Taoiseach. From all the reports coming out of Westminster, the British Government is struggling to manage the scale of work generated by the Brexit process. There is also a huge amount of work to be undertaken by the Irish Government. This includes engaging with other EU...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (23 Nov 2016)

Gerry Adams: Figures provided to me by the INMO also indicate that there are 464 people on hospital trolleys today, so perhaps the Taoiseach needs to revise his figure. It is a matter of wonderment as to what the various Cabinet committees do. The Taoiseach is limited in terms of what he can divulge to the House for some reason beyond my comprehension. The health service is in a worsening crisis,...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (23 Nov 2016)

Gerry Adams: I raise this not to score political points but to demonstrate the need to focus on the crisis in mental health in the same way as we need to focus on other crises.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Programme for Government Implementation (23 Nov 2016)

Gerry Adams: In fairness to the Taoiseach, this is a Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael programme for Government. The responsibility for all of the lack of delivery rests in the confidence and supply agreement. It is revealing to watch the play-acting that is going on day in and day out. The fact is that the Taoiseach is in Government as a gift from Fianna Fáil, and the electorate who are dependent on...

Questions on Proposed Legislation (23 Nov 2016)

Gerry Adams: The programme for Government included a commitment to undertake a hospital bed capacity review to establish the number, type and location of beds required for the future. Just last week, we learned that the review had not commenced. The Minister for Health has admitted that he has not moved beyond the preliminary work to determine the terms of reference for the review. It is taking so long...

Leaders' Questions (23 Nov 2016)

Gerry Adams: I do not dispute what the Taoiseach said. Headstrong; Jigsaw which is a great programme; the personal independence payment, PIP; Save Our Sons and Daughters, SOSAD; and Circle of Hope are all great initiatives. Advocates such as Conor Cusack, the Rubberbandits and Bressie have engaged in a lot of consciousness-raising, particularly of stigma. However, it is not enough because they cannot...

Leaders' Questions (23 Nov 2016)

Gerry Adams: I am very disappointed with the Taoiseach's answer. There is not a lot of help available. This morning we have an article the Irish Examineron 16 suicides that have happened in Cork in the past fortnight. Today it is Cork, another day it will be Kerry or Louth or Belfast. All sections and generations are affected by this issue from the very young to the very old in urban and in rural...
