Gerry Adams: That is my position as well. The Sinn Féin position is to oppose the use of guillotines. This is an important Bill. There should be leave for Teachtaí who want to speak on it. I presume it will be dealt with in the time allowed. There should be no imposition of a guillotine.

Gerry Adams: Making a mess of the big issues of Government has become the Taoiseach's speciality.
- Leaders' Questions (25 Nov 2015)
Gerry Adams: I often wonder to myself and cogitate why this is so. The First Interim Report of the Commission of Investigation into Irish Bank Resolution Corporation, IBRC, from Mr. Justice Brian Cregan makes it clear that their commission's terms of reference, prepared on the Taoiseach's watch and signed off by him, are an absolute and utter shambles. This has been a hallmark of his Government. Look...

Gerry Adams: -----and billions of taxpayers' money was written off or found its way into the deep pockets of the elite. This is money that could have been invested in social housing. This is money that could have been invested in the health services.

Gerry Adams: However, as I said, the Taoiseach and the Government have no real interest in shining a light on the IBRC transactions. We got a letter-----
- Leaders' Questions (25 Nov 2015)
Gerry Adams: -----from the Taoiseach, in which he asked the Opposition parties for their views on new terms of reference and which I responded to last evening. Will the Taoiseach now accept responsibility for this mess, will he publish the terms of reference that were brought forward by the Attorney General and approved by the Taoiseach, and will he at least belatedly try and unravel a mess which is...

Gerry Adams: Will the Taoiseach act on it?
- Leaders' Questions (25 Nov 2015)
Gerry Adams: The reason the Taoiseach makes a mess of matters is characterised by his response. He refused to answer the questions. We tabled amendments to his terms of reference and the Taoiseach voted them down. We ended up voting against the Taoiseach's terms of reference because they were inadequate. Since 2012, Deputies Catherine Murphy, Pearse Doherty and I have raised questions about Siteserv....
- Leaders' Questions (25 Nov 2015)
Gerry Adams: Okay, fair enough. Will the Taoiseach correct these glaring omissions? Will he commit to giving an assurance that all the necessary changes to legislation and to the commission of investigation into the IBRC's terms of reference will be put in place by Christmas, and will he commit to facilitating extended or additional sitting days of the Dáil and Seanad to do that as opposed to...
- Order of Business (24 Nov 2015)
Gerry Adams: I welcome the Government's belated decision to sign the Istanbul convention on preventing and combatting violence against women and domestic violence, which is a very important framework for tackling violence against women and girls. The Government must fully ratify the convention. It has been five years since the Government promised consolidated and reformed domestic violence legislation,...

- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Northern Ireland Issues (24 Nov 2015)
Gerry Adams: The questions cover a period beginning from around June and the Taoiseach, in his reply, quite rightly covered the period up to this month, for which I thank him. However, there is not enough interaction by the Taoiseach and Government on these issues. I do not necessarily mean with the parties in the North, although that is an important element of the process. I thank the Minister for...
