Ceisteanna - Questions: UK Referendum on EU Membership (20 Jul 2016)

Gerry Adams: It is no more obvious than in this institution. Is a united Ireland something that cannot be named? Is it something for which we do not have a responsibility?

Ceisteanna - Questions: UK Referendum on EU Membership (20 Jul 2016)

Gerry Adams: I wish to make two initial points. I have asked consistently for the North to be discussed regularly in this House and I want to return to that point. Second, all of these arrangements are open to review and they are reviewed regularly. I think that is the trigger for this. The invitation to a forum or whatever sort of dialogue we want across the island should be very open. It should...

Leaders' Questions (20 Jul 2016)

Gerry Adams: We agree on one thing, namely, that the housing crisis did not start yesterday but has been a long time in the making. It started when this and previous Governments reneged on the State's responsibility to provide homes for citizens. That is the crucial element to all of this. Yesterday, the Taoiseach tried to blame local councils for the lack of social housing, yet the Government has...
