Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach charges $5,000.

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): World Economic Forum (23 Jun 2015)

Gerry Adams: I do not know whether the Taoiseach read the Oxfam report published before last year's Davos conference. It warned against global inequality and pointed out that the richest 1% would own more than the rest of the world's population by next year. At last year's Davos meeting, Oxfam reported that the 85 richest persons on the planet had the same wealth as the poorest 50% or 3.5 billion...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): World Economic Forum (23 Jun 2015)

Gerry Adams: The Government's failure to introduce even its own flawed universal health insurance policy is evidence of the Government's failure to address social inequality and poverty, especially child poverty, or clamp down on tax abusers. In April, it was revealed that the breakfast cereal giant, Kellogg's, which routes a significant chunk of its global revenues through the State, paid only €7...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): World Economic Forum (23 Jun 2015)

Gerry Adams: Is there a sense of the Taoiseach merely playing the game of being a time-server, going to these events, saying whatever one says at such events and then coming back here and continuing to inflict, and while engaging in the rhetoric of positivity, inflicting great negativity upon working people? The people of the State, like the people of Greece, had an unfair debt burden imposed upon them...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (23 Jun 2015)

Gerry Adams: Déanfaidh mé mo dhícheall. When we ask questions about how often these committees meet and how many of them the Taoiseach attends it is obviously an attempt to try to figure it out, hold the Government to account and ensure there is sufficient delivery for citizens. This is difficult given that there is a prohibition on the Taoiseach giving the detail of these meetings,...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (23 Jun 2015)

Gerry Adams: If I try to come to a sense of the efficiency of these committees, it has to be based on the results. I will present very briefly three issues I have raised consistently. I have called for a root and branch fully independent inquiry into all care facilities for citizens with intellectual disabilities. We have had three reports, one on Áras Attracta and HIQA reports on Redwood and,...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (23 Jun 2015)

Gerry Adams: I will come to the conclusion. Here are three critical issues. There is the business of patients on trolleys. We are in the height of summer with glorious weather and these are figures we normally have at the height of winter. There is a crisis. The Taoiseach talks about a recovery. Do not talk about a fair recovery. It is not a fair recovery if the Government does not implement...

Gerry Adams: What about the health committee?

Leaders' Questions (23 Jun 2015)

Gerry Adams: As the Taoiseach said, Tusla was established to improve children's services. He said it was well funded, yet Tusla recently cut funding to Rape Crisis Network Ireland and women's centres and said that part of its problem was that it did not have the funding. The Irish Timeshas a report today about a HIQA review of Tusla inspections last year, and I have read the executive summary of this...

Gerry Adams: When?

Leaders' Questions (23 Jun 2015)

Gerry Adams: In 2012, a very harrowing report by the independent child death review group, which documented the deaths of 196 children in State care, deeply shocked many citizens. The report's conclusions were a serious indictment of child protection systems and maintained that the State had abdicated its duty in respect of some young people and failed to provide adequate child protection support. The...

Written Answers — Department of Finance: IBRC Operations (18 Jun 2015)

Gerry Adams: 72. To ask the Minister for Finance if he has reason to believe that the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation, before liquidation or since, has been involved in overcharging customers, in any form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24301/15]

Topical Issue Debate: Northern Ireland Issues (17 Jun 2015)

Gerry Adams: I thank the Minister for his response but I must say respectfully that it is not good enough simply to raise these issues with the British Government. Imagine if it emerged that the Government in England had authorised the killing of a human rights lawyer, councillors or other politicians or hundreds of citizens in Scotland. Imagine what would happen if that emerged? That is what happened...
