Pre-European Council: Statements (16 Dec 2015)

Gerry Adams: Climate change is one of the defining challenges facing society today. The role of the European Council and EU leaders will be pivotal in making the Paris agreement work. I urge the Taoiseach to ensure it is properly discussed. It is particularly important in the light of the impact of climate change in recent weeks on our own place. We have had significant flooding, serious disruption of...

Order of Business (16 Dec 2015)

Gerry Adams: I welcome the Taoiseach's commitment. He gave it last night, but I want to welcome it in the Chamber that he will bring forward the heads of the Bill. However, as I told him last night, I do not have any confidence that the Government is serious about having a proper commission of investigation into transactions at IBRC. The proof of this is that the Government voted against the...

Order of Business (16 Dec 2015)

Gerry Adams: We also have the same position. It may well be that the time set aside by the Government for these two very important Bills will suffice. It may be that Deputies will not turn up to make their case for or against and that is how it should be allowed to proceed. The International Protection Bill is a very important Bill. A range of NGOs have expressed their concerns about it and the...

Leaders' Questions (16 Dec 2015)

Gerry Adams: Did he do a version of “Winning Streak”?

Leaders' Questions (16 Dec 2015)

Gerry Adams: Is that how the Government came up with the figure of 50,000 fewer medical cards? It is little wonder that the head of the HSE recently acknowledged that there is no plan, no money and no vision for the health service. The Government’s stated intention is to maintain existing health service levels. Existing levels means that this morning, 331 citizens are lying on trolleys in...

Leaders' Questions (16 Dec 2015)

Gerry Adams: The only thing the Taoiseach gave me was his cold. He told us what he stands for: no plan, no vision, no money. He ignored entirely my question about people being taken off medical cards next year. People are sick and tired of his spoofing about all of this because they know the reality of what is happening in our health services. Does he remember in 2007 he pledged to end the scandal of...

Leaders' Questions (16 Dec 2015)
