- Leaders' Questions (4 Dec 2013)
Gerry Adams: I agree with everything the Tánaiste said. I remind him that the Weston Park agreement was signed in 2001. Therefore, for 12 years the British Government has been in breach of the agreement it made. Let us be very clear that what happened to the two officers who were killed was horrible and horrific. As I said as Gaeilge, there is no such thing as a good war. What happened in...
- Leaders' Questions (4 Dec 2013)
Gerry Adams: There is no way one can just draw a line and say there was a good Old IRA back in the day throwing powder puffs at the British and also that there is an IRA which has departed the stage and which behaved in a more cruel way.

Gerry Adams: With all due deference, of all the people who could get up and rant at me, Teachta Eric Byrne is not one.
- Leaders' Questions (4 Dec 2013)
Gerry Adams: If we are to get into recriminations, let us consider what happened at Aldershot and Ranger Best and the killing of Larry White and Seamus Costello. This is the narrative we get into when there is not a serious effort made to understand I am articulating a viewpoint – one might disagree with me and believe I am absolutely wrong – that is entirely legitimate. I co-operated with...
- Leaders' Questions (4 Dec 2013)
Gerry Adams: I very much thank the Tánaiste for committing to have a debate on the issue. I also remind him that I have called for some time for a wider debate on the past and on issues pertaining to the North. I look forward to such a debate. I commend the Government also on fulfilling the commitment made at Weston Park to hold an inquiry into the killing of the two RUC officers. I commend...

- Leaders' Questions (4 Dec 2013)
Gerry Adams: I remind all Teachtaí that all the main parties came from that period of armed resistance that led to the armed proclamation of a Republic in 1916. Some people have very short memories about their own role and the role of organisations that they might have belonged to in the past.
- Leaders' Questions (4 Dec 2013)
Gerry Adams: What I said on Newstalk, for the record, reflects the Smithwick report. It reflects the statement given to the Smithwick report by the RUC, An Garda Síochána and also by the former IRA volunteers. We can return to the issue at another time. Ní raibh cogadh maith riamh ann - is í sin an fhírinne. Níl síocháin dhona ann - is í sin an fhírinne...
- Leaders' Questions (4 Dec 2013)
Gerry Adams: I wish to bring to the attention of the Tánaiste one clear contradiction in the conclusions of the Smithwick report. On the one hand he said – this is a clear unambiguous assertion – that the tribunal has not uncovered direct evidence of collusion. That is clear. He then goes on – I think it is a contradiction on the basis of untested intelligence and...
- Order of Business (3 Dec 2013)
Gerry Adams: At least when he is attacking Deputy Rabbitte, he is leaving me alone. At last month's meeting, the North-South Ministerial Council issued a statement which was very supportive of the Narrow Water Bridge project. The Tánaiste will be aware that this project also enjoys widespread support across all political sectors in Louth, south Armagh and south Down, as well as across civic...

Gerry Adams: I have raised this before on the Order of Business.
- Order of Business (3 Dec 2013)
Gerry Adams: The Tánaiste has acknowledged that the Border region is the most disadvantaged region so, for this to work, the Government must act upon the North-South Ministerial Council commitment. It must become a champion of this project. I am asking, before the opportunity passes, whether the Government will become a champion for the Narrow Water Bridge project.

- Leaders' Questions (3 Dec 2013)
Gerry Adams: Could I hazard a guess that if this happened on Fianna Fáil's watch the Tánaiste would call for a fully independent inquiry?
