- Flooding: Statements (13 Jan 2016)
Gerry Adams: A Cheann Chomhairle, cuirim fáilte roimh an deis seo labhairt ar na tuilte uafásacha a bhuail go leor saoránach. The scenes of utter devastation and the distress of families and communities across large parts of the island of Ireland as a result of flooding have been shocking. There has been a succession of storms and successive governments have failed to take account of the...
- Flooding: Statements (13 Jan 2016)
Gerry Adams: I stand to be corrected if I am wrong. Many of these 70,000 homeowners and businesses cannot get flood insurance. In parts of Dublin, where major flood defences have been constructed, insurance companies will still not provide insurance or will do so only at a cost that is prohibitive. Yesterday the Taoiseach finally met the major insurance companies but it was slow. It took too long and...
- River Shannon Management Agency Bill 2016: First Stage (13 Jan 2016)
Gerry Adams: I move:That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to create a single competent authority to co-ordinate flood risk and management along the River Shannon and to provide for matters connected therewith. Tá mé buíoch don Cheann Comhairle as an seans a thug sé dom an Bille seo a chur os comhair na Dála. Like colleagues, I have visited home owners and...

- Order of Business (13 Jan 2016)
Gerry Adams: Tá trí cheist agam, ceann amháin faoin IBRC, ceann eile faoi oideachas agus páistí agus an ceann deireannach faoi na seirbhísí sláinte. I, too, was taken by the use of the Taoiseach's word "confidential," particularly given that the morning after our meeting a former member of the Taoiseach's party, trying to make herself relevant, told the world of...
- Order of Business (13 Jan 2016)
Gerry Adams: It was clear that the Government would not listen to the Opposition and, in particular, that it would not listen to Sinn Féin. In fact, when it got to the point of the terms of reference, we voted against it. I believe that the Government, by its actions, has prevented a full and proper commission of investigation from getting on with its work. I believe the Government has pushed this...
- Order of Business (13 Jan 2016)
Gerry Adams: I am coming to my point.
- Order of Business (13 Jan 2016)
Gerry Adams: The point is that 53 Down's syndrome children will be denied what is a very small sum of money, some €25,000. The families raised €50,000 themselves. Does the Taoiseach accept that this is at odds with his commitment? Will he reverse it? A Cheann Comhairle, you will notice how short I am in my questions. The Government's five-point plan has now been destroyed by the...

- Leaders' Questions (13 Jan 2016)
Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach is right that this has gone on for too long, but he is wrong about everything else. He stated that it appeared that we wanted the area from the GPO, but we want an historic 1916 quarter, cearnóg stairiúil nó cearnóg na saoirse. The Taoiseach knows his history and has walked these laneways. The garrison came out of the GPO. Among its number was Michael...
- Leaders' Questions (13 Jan 2016)
Gerry Adams: Our nation is still divided. Partition is still a fact. We now have a peaceful and democratic way to work that out and we all should be doing that. However, this issue should be above party politics. This entire Oireachtas should be united in ensuring that an appropriate 1916 quarter is developed. We do not want a commemorative shopping mall. That is the last thing that we want.

- Leaders' Questions (13 Jan 2016)
Gerry Adams: Ba mhaith liom bliain úr faoi mhaise a ghabháil leatsa, a Cheann Comhairle, agus leis an Taoiseach freisin. Deputy Brian Stanley and I are moving a Bill for a single management agency for the River Shannon later this afternoon. I invite the Fianna Fáil leader and Government Deputies to support it. For now, I am very sad to be raising again the issue of Moore Street in the...
- Written Answers — Department of Justice and Equality: Prisoner Transfers (13 Jan 2016)
Gerry Adams: 462. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of prisoners waiting to be assessed for transfer under the Transfer of Sentenced Persons Act; the time frame for the assessment to be initiated; the number of prisoners transferred to prisons in this State in the past year; if new legislation or amendments to existing legislation are required; and if so the time frame for this to be...
