Ceisteanna - Questions: Seanad Reform (16 Nov 2016)

Gerry Adams: Níl an Taoiseach ná an Rialtas dáiríre ar chor ar bith faoi tuairisc Manning ar an Seanad. Tá an tuairisc ag an Rialtas le tamall fada anois ach, mar a dúirt an Taoiseach, ní dhearna an Rialtas rud ar bith faoi. Cad atá sa tuairisc? It states that the current electoral system for the Seanad is elitist. It then offers a range of proposals for the...

Ceisteanna - Questions: National Economic and Social Council (16 Nov 2016)

Gerry Adams: An Teachta Howlin raises an important question here. As the Taoiseach acknowledged, the term of the current council has expired some time ago. However, members have not been appointed or re-appointed and there is a full complement of staff. There is a secretariat, but it has no members and no work plan. What is it doing? The National Economic and Social Development Office, NESDO, is...

Questions on Proposed Legislation (16 Nov 2016)

Gerry Adams: The programme for Government commits the Government to honouring our commitment to recognise the state of Palestine. Two years ago the Dáil and the Seanad voted to do this but the Government has not acted on that commitment. Since the beginning of this year, 252 Palestinian homes in the West Bank have been demolished by the Israeli authorities and 1,062 people, including 553 minors,...

Leaders' Questions (16 Nov 2016)

Gerry Adams: Tá díomá orm agus tá mé an-mhíshásta le freagra an Taoisigh. Níl freagra ar bith aige. I asked the Taoiseach to commit to introducing rent certainty. He ignored the question. Why not say either that the Government is not going to do it or agree to do it, which is what we want the Government to do? Instead, the Taoiseach has ignored it. I was...

Leaders' Questions (16 Nov 2016)

Gerry Adams: Ní bheidh mé ach bomaite, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. This week in the Seanad, the Government introduced legislation to amend the Residential Tenancies Act. The Government is happy enough to change its rental strategy whenever it suits. The Government could table an amendment to the Bill in the Seanad that would put a halt to the spiralling rents. I invite the Government to do so....

Leaders' Questions (16 Nov 2016)

Gerry Adams: Yesterday, I encouraged the Taoiseach to engage in urgent dialogue with public sector workers and their representatives, but he declined. Yesterday also saw the announcement by the private sector committee of the ICTU that it is seeking a 4% increase in wages in the private sector. I presume that the Taoiseach will be dismissive of that also. It is easy for us. We are well protected from...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (15 Nov 2016)

Gerry Adams: I also wonder what the Cabinet committee on social policy does. One of the big injustices on our watch is the incarceration of people in so-called direct provision centres. The Government has failed to implement any of the 173 recommendations of the McMahon report, which was published a year and a half ago. An tUachatarán, Michael D. Higgins, described the proposals as reasonable and...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Constitutional Convention Recommendations (15 Nov 2016)

Gerry Adams: Táim buíoch den Cheann Comhairle. Beidh mé go han-sciobtha. I want to deal with one issue. In September 2013, the Constitutional Convention voted to extend voting rights to citizens living outside the State. In November 2015, the Joint Committee on European Union Affairs made a recommendation to extend these rights following criticism by the European Commission. More than...

Questions on Proposed Legislation (15 Nov 2016)

Gerry Adams: Ba mhaith liom ceist a chur faoin mBille um fhoréigean baile, the consolidated domestic violence Bill. I commend Safe Ireland on organising a summit on domestic violence.

Research published by Safe Ireland shows that one in three women experience severe...

Gerry Adams: When?

Leaders' Questions (15 Nov 2016)

Gerry Adams: I asked the Taoiseach about starting talks. The Taoiseach ignored that question. It was a simple proposition. I asked him to start talks to try to find a pathway through these difficulties. The Taoiseach has said there needs to be fairness for all workers. That is the exact opposite of what the Government is doing. The Government stance is untenable and I believe the Taoiseach knows...
