Gerry Adams: My question relates specifically to Questions Nos. 17 and 18, which pertain to the retrospective recapitalisation of the pillar banks. I noted the chairperson of the Eurogroup last week stated there was no political support in the Eurogroup for retroactive recapitalisation of the banks. Does the Taoiseach agree this is a hammer blow? At the time, Sinn Féin warned that the spin from...

- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (16 Jul 2013)
Gerry Adams: I cannot ask what was discussed at these Cabinet meetings, which seems rather short-sighted. In terms of the ongoing economic situation, the main issue that has caught people's attention has been the leaking and drip-feeding of the Anglo Irish Bank tapes. The Taoiseach may be aware that, in response to a parliamentary question, it has been acknowledged that the Department of Finance was...

Gerry Adams: Last night was the fourth night of recent violence in the North. Police officers have been attacked by rioters still wearing their orange regalia. Many police officers have been injured. There were attacks last night, including bomb and petrol bomb attacks on St. Matthew's Church and on homes in the Short Strand. Violence from any quarter must be condemned and deplored but what we are...
