Water Sector Reforms: Motion (19 Nov 2014)

Gerry Adams: We have been asking for months for details around this whole fiasco of water charges and Uisce Éireann. The Taoiseach promised us that there would be a full debate, that we would get all of the answers and that there would be clarity. What we have seen, however, is the Taoiseach and the Minister leaving the Chamber before the Fianna Fáil Party spokesman has even finished his...

Leaders' Questions (19 Nov 2014)

Gerry Adams: -----except nuair a chuireann tú fáilte roimh leas-Uachtarán Shinn Féin. Tá sí an-shásta bheith anseo arís. Beidh sí ag cur ceisteanna. An tseachtain seo caite, seoladh suíomh idirlín Comóradh 1916. Baineadh úsáid as Google translate chun Gaeilge a chur air. Tá sé sin scannalach. It is very clear to anyone...

Leaders' Questions (19 Nov 2014)

Gerry Adams: It is also deeply embarrassing that the Government used Google translate for the Irish language section of the 1916 website, with the result that the section was reduced to gibberish. It is shambolic and symbolic of the Government's attitude to the anniversary and, more importantly, to the proclamation and the Irish language. It seems that most of the time the Government cannot do anything...

Leaders' Questions (19 Nov 2014)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach should be conscious that the event, despite his shameful official neglect, will be celebrated across the island and among the diaspora by ordinary men and women who will pay tribute to the brave men and women of 1916. The 1916 Relatives Association said the Government is trampling over the men and women who fought in the Rising. A spokesperson has said the Government does not...

Leaders' Questions (19 Nov 2014)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach needs to own up and stop the innuendo.

Leaders' Questions (19 Nov 2014)

Gerry Adams: It is clear that the Taoiseach's incompetent Government has no intention of fulfilling the vision of the 1916 Proclamation. Indeed, everything he does is in marked contrast to this progressive, democratic declaration. We should not be surprised, therefore, that he has also no intention of properly commemorating and celebrating the 1916 Rising. For three years the Taoiseach offered no...

Leaders' Questions (19 Nov 2014)

Gerry Adams: Can the Taoiseach explain to the Dáil why the video that launches Ireland 2016 makes no mention of the Easter Rising or the signatories of the Proclamation? Instead, we are treated to images of Facebook, Google, Bob Geldof, Bono, David Cameron and the English Queen.

Leaders' Questions (19 Nov 2014)

Gerry Adams: Is this what the Government believes the 1916 Rising was about? Does the Taoiseach agree with me that this video and the flimsy commemorative brochure are deeply disrespectful to the men and women of 1916 and betray a cynical indifference to their sacrifice, ideals, hopes and vision?

An Bille um an gCeathrú Leasú is Tríocha ar an mBunreacht (Uimh. 3) 2014: An Dara Céim [Comhaltaí Príobháideacha] - Thirty-fourth Amendment of the Constitution (No. 3) Bill 2014: Second Stage [Private Members] (18 Nov 2014)

Gerry Adams: I want to commend Teachta Stanley for bringing forward this very important and timely Bill. Citizens are sick to the teeth of the Government’s agenda of relentless austerity and endless list of taxes and charges aimed at those on low and middle incomes. This water tax is the final straw for many families. People who would never have thought of protesting have joined tens of...

Order of Business (18 Nov 2014)

Gerry Adams: I asked the Taoiseach to give us an explanation as to why he has ordered the business in the way he has done, but he did not give us one. He still has an opportunity to give us an explanation. This reflects how this Government does its business. It makes a mess of even the most straightforward piece of work.

Order of Business (18 Nov 2014)

Gerry Adams: The key point concerns the Taoiseach's remark when he said the Opposition Whips had been informed of these changes. Telling us what to do and informing us of what the Government has decided is a long way away from political reform.
