- Leaders' Questions (27 May 2015)
Gerry Adams: Will the Taoiseach confirm, in contrast with the Aer Lingus workers and the deferred pensioners, that current and former bosses at the airline will benefit by millions of euro from any sell-off? Could he give us a figure for the amount they will be paid in bonuses and in backhanders or will we have to leave it, as we did with Irish Water-----

- Leaders' Questions (27 May 2015)
Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach has just acknowledged that he refused to answer questions here in the Dáil during Leaders' Questions and subsequently on this sell-off of Aer Lingus. However, what he did not admit was that at the same time he was briefing the media and Government Deputies about the machinations between the Government and IAG. The Taoiseach has also withheld documentation from the...

Gerry Adams: However, according to the Minister, Deputy Donohoe, Mr. Kavanagh has also indicated that he "does not foresee a likelihood of either compulsory redundancies or non-direct employment under IAG ownership".

Gerry Adams: Yesterday I asked the Taoiseach if he would publish all of the documentation on this issue, but he has not done that. I checked for it in the Oireachtas Library earlier, but all we got was a statement and one or two records of committee meetings.

Gerry Adams: My question is very straightforward. I asked it of the Taoiseach yesterday, but he ignored it. I asked it three times today of the Whip and he, too, ignored it. When will the documentation on this issue be supplied to Deputies in this Chamber? Second, the transport committee, including the sheep from the Labour Party and Fine Gael, asked that this decision be referred to it to be debated.
- Business of Dáil: Motion (27 May 2015)
Gerry Adams: How are we going to have a proper debate if the transport committee is ignored and we are not given an answer to the question as to when documentation which has been supplied to the media in a spinning way will be supplied to the elected representatives in this Chamber?
