- Leaders' Questions (5 Nov 2013)
Gerry Adams: Let me be the first to acknowledge that the Taoiseach is níos líofa ná mise sa Ghaeilge. Tá a chuid Gaeilge an-mhaith, ach ní hé sin an t-aon difear idir mise agus an Taoiseach.
- Leaders' Questions (5 Nov 2013)
Gerry Adams: Fan. Tá mise soiléir, ach níl an Taoiseach soiléir i mBéarla nó i nGaeilge. I put a very direct question to the Taoiseach. If I understand his answer - when we eventually got around to it - he said he was aware that the letter would be sent to those not paying by direct debit. Therefore, he did know. He was aware that the letter was going to go out to...
- Leaders' Questions (5 Nov 2013)
Gerry Adams: The issue with rates in the North is that people get services for those rates. When this was introduced the Taoiseach promised that 80% of the money collected through the property tax would go to support local services. Last week he reneged on that promise. People will not get any benefit in local services by paying this very unfair tax. This is the first admission that the Taoiseach knew...

- Social Welfare and Pensions Bill 2013: Second Stage (Resumed) (24 Oct 2013)
Gerry Adams: Is deas é an Teachta a fheiceáil anseo mar chathaoirleach. Is deas é an tAire a fheiceáil chomh maith. In last week's budget the Minister introduced a range of austerity cuts and tax measures that are a direct attack on low and middle income households and which will hurt the elderly, the sick and the very young. She is attacking citizens from the cradle to the grave...

- Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (23 Oct 2013)
Gerry Adams: I intend to share time with Deputy Dessie Ellis. I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Donohoe. I understand this is his first outing. Tá fáilte roimhe. It has been my experience that his predecessor was very forthright and clear in her pronouncements in the House and I hope the Minister of State will follow that example. I thank the Taoiseach for his remarks as well. As...
- Order of Business (23 Oct 2013)
Gerry Adams: Not agreed. I seek clarification on No. 11. I do not understand what it is about. The Taoiseach knows that Sinn Féin is not even represented on the commission for reasons that are beyond me. I understand that an Opposition Deputy will be replaced by a Government Deputy. Surely, fairness would see an Opposition Deputy as a replacement, particularly given that our party is excluded...

- Leaders' Questions (23 Oct 2013)
Gerry Adams: Más cuimhin leis an Taoiseach, chuir mé ceist air inné ag iarraidh air éirí as a phost agus bhí mé dáiríre faoi sin. An raibh seans ag an Taoiseach smaoineamh ar sin? An cuimhin leis freisin an méid a dúirt sé faoin ábhar tábhachtach seo? Who said this: "to take away your rights to have a medical card beyond the age of...
- Leaders' Questions (23 Oct 2013)
Gerry Adams: Níl an Taoiseach macánta liom. Táim sásta go ndúirt sé go raibh sé ag smaoineamh faoin cheist a chuir mé air, ach ní chreidim an méid a dúirt sé liom. In Irish or English, the mark of this Government is one of breathtaking arrogance. It is clear from the Taoiseach's reply that he is indifferent. It is not that he does not know...
