- Good Friday Agreement: Motion [Private Members] (14 May 2013)
Gerry Adams: Comhréiteach stairiúil a bhí ann - a compromise between conflicting political positions following decades of conflict, the roots of which are to be found in the British Government's involvement in our country.

Gerry Adams: First, for the record, the Taoiseach said earlier that he was looking forward to the publication by the First and Deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland of a discussion paper on tackling sectarianism. That has already been published. It was published last week. I wish to raise two issues with the Taoiseach. The first concerns Bethany Home. There is a huge amount of evidence in the...

- Order of Business (14 May 2013)
Gerry Adams: I thank the Taoiseach for his answer and look forward to seeing his suggestions. I have a very brief supplementary comment on Bethany Home. New information has emerged since 2007.

Gerry Adams: I am sure the Taoiseach will agree that citizens have the right to picket peacefully. The leader of Fianna Fáil appears not to believe in that right. As one of those people who was baton-charged, gassed and water cannoned off the streets over a long period, I am of the view that drawing a comparison between a peaceful picket and the loyalist riots during which Sinn Féin...

- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Northern Ireland Issues (14 May 2013)
Gerry Adams: I will curtail my contribution to four questions and there may be an opportunity to return. First is the issue I raised earlier, namely, welfare cuts. I know there is a certain irony in my asking the Taoiseach, who is imposing austerity here, to raise the issue of austerity with the British Government in regard to the North. However, I do so because the economy in the North just cannot...
