European Council Meeting: Statements (25 Jun 2013)

Gerry Adams: This week's summit meeting marks the end of Ireland's Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Northern Ireland Issues (25 Jun 2013)

Gerry Adams: It is a fact that many citizens in the North have not had any benefit of an economic dividend from the peace process. That is very clear in areas that have borne the brunt of conflict and that suffered from decades of disadvantage and discrimination.

I am astounded the Minister for Finance said...
