Gerry Adams: There is growing frustration and anger at the continuing overcrowding crisis in our hospitals. This morning the number of patients awaiting admission is again at near record levels. Some 472 patients were on trolleys in emergency departments or wards this morning, and for the third day in a row Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda has the highest number of citizens on trolleys. It is...

- Leaders' Questions (11 Feb 2015)
Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach should listen to what he says sometimes. He said it is not in anybody's best interests to have patients on trolleys. There is no need to tell me or anybody else that, particularly the families of these patients. The Taoiseach said there were 400 patients on trolleys this morning, but there were 472. He said a new module unit is being opened at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital,...

- Order of Business (10 Feb 2015)
Gerry Adams: I want to make the same point as Deputy Micheál Martin. If, as we read in the newspapers, the Labour Party Deputies are being given a briefing on the Attorney General's advice, the rest of us deserve the same briefing.

- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Official Engagements (10 Feb 2015)
Gerry Adams: I know we do not have much time and I have four questions. However, I want to assure Teachta Martin that Irish America knows Sinn Féin's policies. It is clear that we receive our support there, despite some of them disagreeing with our policies.

- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Alcohol Advertising (10 Feb 2015)
Gerry Adams: I have raised the issue of alcohol abuse in society and, in particular, the public health (alcohol) Bill with the Taoiseach many times. There are good things in this Bill. Let me say that and also that we welcome these. However, on the issue of drinks sponsorship of sporting events, the Bill will fail miserably. This is despite the fact that this is one of the issues it is supposed to...
- Leaders' Questions (10 Feb 2015)
Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach did not answer the two important questions I put to him, a point to which I will return. We all know that the activities of some of the banks and a small wealthy elite, facilitated by some politicians, caused the financial crash in this State. It is also not that well-known that €62 billion in private bank loans was in the hands of just 190 individuals. It is not that...

Did the Minister ask Mr. Geoghegan about HSBC prior to his appointment to NAMA? I refer to my earlier...
