Order of Business (10 Jun 2014)

Gerry Adams: Given the earlier discussion during Leaders' Questions, I beseech the Taoiseach to come forward, even tomorrow, and tell the House when he will let these citizens know how we will deal with the issue of how they were treated barbarically by the State for a long time.

Order of Business (10 Jun 2014)

Gerry Adams: I wish to inquire about three reports that are outstanding and also about the issue of discretionary medical cards. The Cooke report, with which the Taoiseach has dealt previously, relates to allegations of bugging at the offices of GSOC. I do not think it is good enough for a discussion on this report to be put off until next week. In recent days the Taoiseach returned from what, I...

Order of Business (10 Jun 2014)

Gerry Adams: I am seeking that the Taoiseach set time aside at the earliest possible opportunity for a debate on this very serious issue. The other reports to which I wish to refer are those compiled by Professor Oonagh Walsh and Judge Yvonne Murphy, respectively, in respect of symphysiotomy. Last July the Taoiseach informed the Dáil that the Walsh report was to be published soon after. In...

Order of Business (10 Jun 2014)

Gerry Adams: I did not ask when the Cabinet would receive a memo on medical cards, rather I asked the Taoiseach to indicate when the Government is going to produce its proposals. This is such a vexed and debilitating issue. I note that this is the first time the Taoiseach has been in the House since the elections. What I want to know is when the Government will announce a reversal of its policy....

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (10 Jun 2014)

Gerry Adams: I wish to raise the manner in which questions to the Taoiseach are organised and taken. The first tranche of questions today relate to March, which was three months ago. The second tranche are about the meeting of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, OECD, in Paris at the beginning of February. We probably will not reach them today, so they will be postponed to...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (10 Jun 2014)

Gerry Adams: It allows for a focus on them. First, I appreciate and, indeed, enjoyed the way the Taoiseach raised the issue of the undocumented Irish at the Speaker's lunch. It was a very direct way of doing it and it certainly caught people's attention. I commend him on that. As the Taoiseach said, there is an opportunity before the election in November to push for reform that would favour the...

Leaders' Questions (10 Jun 2014)

Gerry Adams: Cuirim fáilte roimh an gcinneadh atá déanta ag an Rialtas coimisiún fiosrúcháin a bhunú. Is cúis áiféala é gur tharla na rudaí seo sa chéad áit, ach is maith an rud é go bhfuil an cinneadh seo tógtha. I, too, welcome that the Government is to establish a commission of inquiry into mother and baby homes across...

Leaders' Questions (10 Jun 2014)

Gerry Adams: Go raibh maith agat. In trying to come to terms with this, one of the questions I asked of myself was how did this State allow the establishment of these institutions for women who had babies out of wedlock. In trying to tease through the sad history of all of this, the more profound question is what are we going to do about it. The Government, by announcing the establishment of a...

Leaders' Questions (10 Jun 2014)

Gerry Adams: Why is the site in Tuam not sealed off so that experts can be brought in to examine it? Will the Government support Sinn Féin's Private Members' motion on this latest shameful episode of our history? I am pleased that our motion has been overtaken by the Government's announcement, but I would like the Government to make clear its position on the motion.
