Gerry Adams: The Government has dried the marrow from the bone.

Gerry Adams: I ask the Leas-Cheann Comhairle to intervene.

Gerry Adams: I remind the House that I never said a word while the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste were speaking. I listened intently to what they had to say because, after all, they lead the Government. I expect the same courtesy. Against this backdrop, struggling families will hardly notice the extra €5 per month in child benefit which was announced and much lauded by the Tánaiste earlier...
- Financial Resolutions 2015 - Financial Resolution No. 3: General (Resumed) (15 Oct 2014)
Gerry Adams: One in seven people lives at the risk of poverty - clearly not those on the benches over there. One in four lives in a jobless household. Have they not the right to recovery? The Government has failed to create jobs at anything approaching a sufficient level and its policies-----

Gerry Adams: I look to the Leas-Cheann Comhairle to keep order here.

Gerry Adams: I have every confidence in him. Emigration, which has been the great safety valve for successive Governments, has continued at a frightening rate and has been embraced by this Government as a policy option. There are 28,000 fewer young people in employment since Labour and Fine Gael entered Government. There are currently 374,800 people on the live register. I know the Government does not...
- Financial Resolutions 2015 - Financial Resolution No. 3: General (Resumed) (15 Oct 2014)
Gerry Adams: Yesterday, when the Minister for Finance and the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform were making their statements, they were listened to by the Opposition. However, when it came to the spokespersons for the Opposition parties responding, both Ministers were absent from the Chamber. Bhí siad as láthair gan meas ar bith. Bhí an Taoiseach ansin ach arís gan meas ar...
- Order of Business (15 Oct 2014)
Gerry Adams: Tá daoine buartha faoi thodhchaí na Gaeilge.
- Order of Business (15 Oct 2014)
Gerry Adams: Iarraim ar an Taoiseach bheith ciúin agus éisteacht liom.
- Order of Business (15 Oct 2014)
Gerry Adams: Tá daoine buartha faoi thodhchaí na Gaeilge agus táim ag lorg dáta le haghaidh Bille na dteangacha oifigiúla. Cén uair a bheidh an Bille seo linn sa Dáil? The Taoiseach knows that Irish language enthusiasts and communities throughout the entire island are relying on the outcome of this review in order to plan for the future. As he also knows, the language...
- Leaders' Questions (15 Oct 2014)
Gerry Adams: The chorus of hecklers will not drown out the voice of the people on these issues.
- Leaders' Questions (15 Oct 2014)
Gerry Adams: People cannot afford to pay. The Taoiseach made his choice and the Labour Party made its choice. The people will have their choice in due course but the Taoiseach can still scrap water charges.
- Leaders' Questions (15 Oct 2014)
Gerry Adams: Yes, final.
- Leaders' Questions (15 Oct 2014)
Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach is not very convincing on this issue of fairness. Yesterday, the Government had the opportunity to relieve the burden on long-suffering families by getting rid of water charges, the family home tax - the property tax - and taking the lowest paid workers out of the tax net. However, it decided not to do any of this. Instead, the Taoiseach put his own very conservative...
- Leaders' Questions (15 Oct 2014)
Gerry Adams: Therefore, the Taoiseach thinks it is fair. Rubbishing the proposals put forward by Sinn Féin in a dismissive way does not convince anyone. We put forward a thoughtful and costed proposal. The Taoiseach might disagree with it because he comes from a different political and ideological position. He has a different view and vision of how Ireland should be governed and society ordered....
- Leaders' Questions (15 Oct 2014)
Gerry Adams: The Government continues to overtax ordinary families. We put forward a fairer budget that would shift the burden of taxation on to revenue sources which would be less harmful to the domestic economy, while ensuring finance for front-line services such as health and education. This would deal with the plight of the homeless, as well as the coping classes and working poor. Abolishing the...
- Leaders' Questions (15 Oct 2014)
Gerry Adams: Stopping water charges would have an even greater effect. The Taoiseach’s proposal for a tax credit of 20% of the water charges to a figure kept at €100 in no way compensates for the impact on hard-pressed families. I do not know what the Taoiseach does not get about this. It is not that people will not pay; the fact is that they cannot pay. People will not be able to pay...
- Leaders' Questions (15 Oct 2014)
Gerry Adams: That is what the people told the Taoiseach on the streets of Dublin last Saturday. I am sure it is the same in County Mayo, but it is not too late. There is no point getting up and waffling and rubbishing Sinn Féin. We did it in the North. Domestic water charges were abolished by us in the North.
