Gerry Adams: All right. In 2013, this person, whom I cannot name in this democratic forum but who is involved with a firm called Fitzwilliam Finance Partners, paid €230 million for loans owed by Arnotts and he secured 50% of the company. What this anonymous person has just done is a perfect example of someone acquiring assets while subject to NAMA, in this case from the IBRC. Last week, this...

Gerry Adams: -----bought the other 50% of Arnotts, so Noel Smyth, dare I say the name, now owns Arnotts.He controls Arnotts.What is to stop him from doing at Arnotts what was done at Clerys?

- Leaders' Questions (24 Jun 2015)
Gerry Adams: Because it is in the public interest to do so. I am asking the Taoiseach to ensure NAMA prioritises the interests of the citizens and the taxpayers. Will he establish an independent audit of remaining NAMA properties to determine which of these could be made available for social and economic development? I repeat my first question: will the Taoiseach agree to a suspension of non-contracted...

However, the Fine Gael-Labour Party Government, including the Taoiseach and the Minister for Finance, Deputy Noonan, have consistently taken the...

Gerry Adams: Tá dhá cheist agam. One is about the marriage equality Bill and the other is about the Good Friday Agreement and the programme for Government commitment to the free implementation of that agreement. The Taoiseach will recall that last week I raised the issue of collusion and urged him to hold a debate on this important issue. He said he might divide the time for a debate on the...
