- Written Answers — Department of Finance: Tax Code (9 Jul 2014)
Gerry Adams: 74. To ask the Minister for Finance that in acknowledging that the imposition of professional services withholding tax to non-EU agents could be construed as unfair as it puts an administrative burden on non-EU agents; it delays the return of capital which is rightfully theirs; it delays the use of capital cost of lost opportunities; if the PSWT is not collected at source it does not confer...

- Order of Business (8 Jul 2014)
Gerry Adams: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for his indulgence. I have three questions for the Taoiseach. On the 1961 Vienna Convention, does the Government intend to upgrade the Palestinian mission to an embassy, which status it deserves under the 1961 Vienna Convention?

- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (8 Jul 2014)
Gerry Adams: I should declare an interest in respect of this matter. I am a member of the Clinton Global Initiative, although I play a very modest role.

In so far as is possible, I try to...

The fact is that there are difficulties which will continue to present and which will create crises. The way to handle...

- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (8 Jul 2014)
Gerry Adams: I thank the Taoiseach for his reply and take the opportunity to welcome the decision by Queen's University Belfast to rename the Leadership Institute at Riddel Hall as "The William J. Clinton Leadership Institute". I am pleased that the Taoiseach met the former President and, in particular, that he raised the issue of the North with him. Mr. Clinton has played a vital role in the...
