Leaders' Questions (3 Feb 2015)

Gerry Adams: It is important that the Taoiseach reminded us of the events around the whistleblowers' allegations and the way the Government had responded to them.

Without taking up too much time, we know the chronology that led to the retirement of a Garda Commissioner - the Taoiseach's words - and the...

Leaders' Questions (3 Feb 2015)

Gerry Adams: -----between the Taoiseach and Deputy Alan Shatter. I asked the Taoiseach at least twice formally if he had received any correspondence from Deputy Alan Shatter, if his Department had received any, if the Ceann Comhairle had received any or if any other agency had received any, but he refused to answer. He only answered eventually when pressed. Now we hear about all of this correspondence....

He then made a virtue of necessity and is now going to publish the letters as if it was a mighty act of kindness on his part. That discussion could have been held in private with the leaders of the various groups in the...

Leaders' Questions (3 Feb 2015)

Gerry Adams: The Ceann Comhairle has very graciously acknowledged that there could be another interpretation of Standing Order 57(3). He said he was going to summon the Committee on Procedure and Privileges, which is what the Sinn Féin Whip, Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh, proposed should happen. He did so in writing to the best of my recollection. To hide behind the Ceann Comhairle in light of his...

Personal Explanation by Ceann Comhairle (3 Feb 2015)

Gerry Adams: I also welcome the Ceann Comhairle's statement, particularly the acknowledgement that his remarks on the radio were inappropriate. I want to deal with other issues, but I will do that later. Now that the Ceann Comhairle has, in a genuine way, withdrawn his remarks, may I ask that those Ministers who defended the Ceann Comhairle's remarks also withdraw their remarks.

Order of Business (28 Jan 2015)

Gerry Adams: I also asked if the Taoiseach had consulted or sought an opinion from the Attorney General. Do we have the legal advice that the Ceann Comhairle was given? I am appealing for it again. The Taoiseach can go ahead with this vote, lining up all the backbenchers to fill the lobbies and it will go through without a doubt, but he should not do that. He should reorder it for tomorrow or next...
