Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (10 Nov 2015)

Gerry Adams: I was reminded during my recent visit to Cuba of the enormous historical links that exist between Ireland and Latin America. Apart from anything else, there are half a million or more citizens in that part of the world who claim Irish descent. There has been a huge change in the politics of that region. I commend Presidents Obama and Castro for the new accord which has developed and for...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (10 Nov 2015)

Gerry Adams: The key issue is that the Government has failed to act on the determination of the Oireachtas. When I was speaking a moment ago, I informed the Taoiseach that the letter I received from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade at his request was entirely unsatisfactory. In his reply, the Taoiseach essentially read out the content of that letter. We want to see the Government recognising...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (10 Nov 2015)

Gerry Adams: I will start with the issue of global warming and climate change. NASA recently revealed that the world's sea levels have risen by nearly 8 cm since 1992, and the UN has estimated that sea levels will rise by 1 metre or more by the end of the century. Of course, that has significant implications everywhere. In some parts of the world, it means hurricanes, cyclones and storms in greater...

Leaders' Questions (10 Nov 2015)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach did not answer my question on the advice the Attorney General gave him. He promised a democratic revolution and said he would do things differently, not like his predecessor. It is obvious he did not mean any of that because since he has become Taoiseach every time there has been a conflict between the elites and golden circles and citizens, he has taken the side of the elites...

Leaders' Questions (10 Nov 2015)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach's claim that the Government only found out about legal difficulties with the commission of investigation into IBRC does not have any credibility. The reason it does not have any credibility is that every time issues have been raised about IBRC the Taoiseach has done what he did today: he has stonewalled. In 2012 Deputy Pearse Doherty and I submitted a range of parliamentary...
