Order of Business (5 Mar 2013)

Gerry Adams: I ask the Taoiseach to reflect on this. We have tabled 34 amendments. Government Deputies voted earlier to stop us from debating the 23 amendments we had put forward. The Taoiseach was on these benches for a very long time and knows how frustrating it is when we go to the trouble of scrutinising the Bill, parsing it and tabling thoughtful amendments but are then denied the chance to...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Official Engagements (5 Mar 2013)

Gerry Adams: It was my intention to ask a different supplementary question but the Taoiseach did not answer my question. He spoke at length about Syria and I share his concerns and agree with much of what he said but my question was not about Syria but about the recent report of EU heads of mission, the Jerusalem report.

Leaders' Questions (5 Mar 2013)

Gerry Adams: The sites the Taoiseach mentioned, such as the GPO or the military archives, are not under any threat. He knows his history as well as I do. When the British had an empire, brave men and women went out and proclaimed a republic. After days of fighting, they withdrew from the GPO and made their way into Moore Street. I cannot think of anywhere else in the world, whatever the complexion of...
