Leaders' Questions (10 Dec 2013)

Gerry Adams: I came in here to ask the Taoiseach a question which is pertinent to what is happening at this time. It is about revelations which have scandalised citizens.

We can arrange that at any time in any place that the...

Leaders' Questions (10 Dec 2013)

Gerry Adams: The fact is that the issue of top-ups and two-tierism is bigger. I commend and appreciate the work of the Committee of Public Accounts but this is a bigger issue.
