Ceisteanna - Questions: UK Referendum on EU Membership (24 May 2016)

Ceisteanna - Questions: UK Referendum on EU Membership (24 May 2016)

Gerry Adams: I also want to make the point that the grouping of these issues is not the way for us to get the maximum information on them.

We should not just be dealing with it in the middle of a crisis or when some other difficulty arises. I thought we had that...

Order of Business (18 May 2016)

Gerry Adams: It appears that the Government missed the deadline and failed to submit a nomination for the position of Leas-Cheann Comhairle, if that was its intention, although who am I to know? We are due an explanation.
