Order of Business (15 Jan 2014)

Gerry Adams: Tá cúpla ceist agam, ceann amháin faoi chlár an Rialtais agus ceann eile faoin Tuaisceart. The Government committed to appointing an independent international expert commission to review the case for and cost of undergrounding all or part of the Meath-Tyrone 400 kV power link. To date, there has been no such independent review. When will the Government allow this?...

Leaders' Questions (15 Jan 2014)

Gerry Adams: I have to say the Taoiseach's answer is a joke, and a very bad joke at that. Yesterday, Mr. John Tierney told the Oireachtas environment committee that the Minister, Deputy Hogan, was aware in September 2012 of the allocation of €180 million of public money to establish the company. Despite repeated questions on this issue from Sinn Féin's environment spokesperson, Deputy Brian...

Leaders' Questions (15 Jan 2014)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach totally ignored the thrust of my question. The fact is that for 18 months the Minister refused to give information to Teachtaí Dála who raised legitimate detailed questions about expenditure on this particular project. The Taoiseach said he is taking responsibility for this policy so I put my last question to him again. Is it not time this Minister went? Sinn...

Leaders' Questions (15 Jan 2014)

Gerry Adams: As the Taoiseach knows, this is a Trojan horse for privatisation. There will not be one deor uisce, not one tear of water, going into anyone's water taps from the €86 million that is being given to these consultants, and the Taoiseach knows that. It is coming at a time when the Taoiseach is taking money from citizens and from front-line services. For example, the Government gives...

Leaders' Questions (15 Jan 2014)

Gerry Adams: I have just one last point, if I may. The Local Government Audit Service report of 2011 on spending by Dublin City Council raised serious questions about the spending of almost €100 million of public money on the Poolbeg incinerator project. Under whom?

Leaders' Questions (15 Jan 2014)

Gerry Adams: It was on John Tierney's watch. Surely, as he said he is taking responsibility for this policy, it is time for the Taoiseach to face up to the failure upon failure, debacle upon debacle. The Taoiseach can give me a direct answer, if he would. Will he ask the Minister to resign over this issue of refusing to give the Dáil the information which we deserve to have?

Topical Issue Debate: Ambulance Service Response Times (15 Jan 2014)

Gerry Adams: I thank the Minister of State for her answer. She must be concerned that the amount of time it took the ambulance to get to where Wayne McQuillan had been stabbed falls outside the national service plan 2014 target. I entirely agree with the Minister of State about the sterling work done by paramedics, ambulance crews and front-line services. Like the Minister of State, I have had use of...

Topical Issue Debate: Ambulance Service Response Times (15 Jan 2014)

Gerry Adams: Gabhaim buíochas le oifig an Cheann Comhairle as ucht seans a thabhairt dom caint faoi bhás Wayne McQuillan. I want to extend my condolences and sympathies to the family of Wayne McQuillan, who was stabbed in Drogheda in the early hours of New Year's Day. I am conscious that the raising of this issue could cause further trauma and grief for them. That is certainly not my...
