- Standing Order 112 Select Committee: Motion (10 Mar 2016)
Gerry Adams: -----gabh mo leithscéal, 22 March, but that is not for a real debate. That is for the reading of statements.

I want to make the case again for an investigation into the sale of...

- Standing Order 112 Select Committee: Motion (10 Mar 2016)
Gerry Adams: This strikes me as odd but I will accept the Ceann Comhairle's direction on this matter. No Taoiseach has been elected today. That is the reality and during the 31st Dáil-----
- Standing Order 112 Select Committee: Motion (10 Mar 2016)
Gerry Adams: Does that not say much about the palaver of Dáil reform? We submitted these motions in good faith. There is a scandal around NAMA and I and others have asked for the past two years straight questions of the Government but we never got answers on them. The committee in the Northern Ireland Assembly has now brought forward a very detailed report, and part of the motions spoken about by...
- Election of Ceann Comhairle (Resumed) (10 Mar 2016)
Gerry Adams: Déanaim mo chomhghairdeas leat, a Cheann Comhairle, faoi do cheapachán ag an Dáil. Is onóir mhór duit agus dod' theaghlach.

- Establishment of a Statutory Commission of Investigation into a Foster Home in the South East: Statements (2 Feb 2016)
Gerry Adams: Go raibh míle maith agat. It is with a sense of déjà vuand deep sadness that I speak on this harrowing issue.

The DPP also...

- Leaders' Questions (2 Feb 2016)
Gerry Adams: Yes, I do.
- Leaders' Questions (2 Feb 2016)
Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach went into government on the back of what he called "a democratic revolution". Contrary to that, he is now finishing five years of conservative politics with all the hallmarks of Fianna Fáil in office. He has led a Government acting for the elite and completely out of touch with the needs of ordinary citizens. He has arrogant Ministers who refuse to resolve the problems...
- Leaders' Questions (2 Feb 2016)
Gerry Adams: I look forward to the people having their say on all these matters. Sinn Féin has put forward costed, practical proposals for dealing with housing, health and child care. The Taoiseach should know that because I sent them to him and, unlike Fine Gael's, the Sinn Féin sums add up.
- Leaders' Questions (2 Feb 2016)
Gerry Adams: Fine Gael's sums do not add up. The Taoiseach did not deal with the questions I put to him, which is not surprising. Regarding the health service, he said: "The inefficient two-tier health system will be eliminated". He has made it worse and he has no plan for health. He has no strategy to invest in the most basic services, which citizens should be accorded by right in a republic. He...
- Leaders' Questions (2 Feb 2016)
Gerry Adams: Why will the Taoiseach not admit that it is the ultimate aim of Fine Gael to wind down the health service in order to privatise it and auction it off to the highest bidder? Would it not be better to seek a mandate for that by saying to the people, "We want to privatise the health service because we believe in that and we do not believe in a public health service"? Would that not treat the...
