Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Office of the Attorney General (29 Jan 2013)

Gerry Adams: I welcome the news that additional staff have been allocated to the Attorney General's office, because the Taoiseach has said in the past that there were pressures on the office due to the demands of the EU-IMF programme.

Leaders' Questions (29 Jan 2013)

Gerry Adams: Of course the people of Wexford, Kilkenny and Carlow and every other county deserve the very best hospital services. The Taoiseach is being disingenuous.

Leaders' Questions (29 Jan 2013)
