Gerry Adams: When this week?

Order of Business (18 Nov 2015)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach says he will publish the interim report of the commission of investigation this week. It would be useful to know when he is going to do so. Questions put by our finance spokesperson, Deputy Pearse Doherty, on the issue have also been disallowed and this is a matter we will raise with the Ceann Comhairle.

Order of Business (18 Nov 2015)

Gerry Adams: With respect, we know what the procedure is. I am simply mentioning that we have been advised the Taoiseach, as he may be aware, is not responsible to the Oireachtas for these issues. This are ugely important issues which have led to the establishment of a commission of investigation, but we are told the Taoiseach is not responsible to the Oireachtas for them.

Leaders' Questions (18 Nov 2015)

Gerry Adams: Does the Taoiseach recall his notorious five-point plan?

Leaders' Questions (18 Nov 2015)

Gerry Adams: Yes. It promised a new health system. It promised to eliminate long waiting lists, the two-tier health system, trolley waits and to introduce a universal health insurance scheme - fair care. Sinn Féin warned that this would not work, as did other parties and independent health experts, but the Taoiseach would not listen. This morning, the Minister, Deputy Varadkar, in a car crash...

Leaders' Questions (18 Nov 2015)

Gerry Adams: In the dying days of the Government, the Taoiseach has eventually confessed that he has abandoned the scheme he favoured. Let us consider the other promises the Taoiseach has broken. The programme for Government committed to free GP care for all, an end to prescription charges, introducing universal health insurance and the abolition of the HSE. None of this has happened, and none of it...

Leaders' Questions (18 Nov 2015)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach promised to provide a modern, fair and accessible health service, but he has failed miserably to do that. In 2013, the former Minister, Deputy James Reilly, said we will never again see 569 people on trolleys on a single day while the Government is in office. The Taoiseach made the same promise. Last month, there were record numbers of patients on trolleys, many of them...

Paris Terrorist Attack: Statements (17 Nov 2015)

Gerry Adams: On behalf of Sinn Féin, I condemn in the strongest possible terms the deplorable, murderous attacks perpetrated in Paris last Friday.

I extend my...

Gerry Adams: We are still not clear if and when the Taoiseach will allow a debate on the one-year bankruptcy law, and I would like clarity on that. I have two other ceisteanna, on the health (transport support) Bill and the international protection Bill, respectively. The health (transport support) Bill is intended to provide for a scheme to make individual payments towards transport costs for citizens...

Order of Business (11 Nov 2015)

Gerry Adams: I have raised this issue with the Taoiseach on at least half a dozen occasions. A new scheme is promised in section C of the Government's legislative programme. It is a scandal that severely disabled citizens have been denied assistance since 2013. Is there a date for the publication of the health (transport support) Bill? On the proposed international protection Bill, the Minister for...
