Central Bank (Mortgage Interest Rates) Bill 2015: Second Stage [Private Members] (10 Jun 2015)

Gerry Adams: In respect of the banks, which have caused so much damage to our economy and society, Fine Gael and the Labour Party in particular have talked the talk but have failed miserably to walk the walk. Speaking only last month, the Taoiseach described the refusal by some banks to cut interest rates as a "very serious matter", and said it would not be tolerated. He said: "We are not happy nor is...

Leaders' Questions (10 Jun 2015)

Gerry Adams: The people who are listening in to this are seeing their money being frittered away; they are seeing the way the Government responds to these issues and seeing the way the Minister has refused to deal with the very simple straightforward proposition from Sinn Féin to amend the terms of reference.

Draft Commission of Investigation (Certain matters concerning transactions entered into by IBRC) Order 2015: Motion (9 Jun 2015)

Since 2012, Teachta Pearse Doherty and I, as well as...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Constitutional Convention Recommendations (9 Jun 2015)

Gerry Adams: The decision to progress with the marriage equality referendum was the right one. The decision to hold a referendum on lowering the age at which candidates could stand for the Presidency was wrong, as it was not the most important issue.
