Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach knows better. Rather than go through this row - I do not want to be fighting with the Ceann Comhairle - the Taoiseach should be a man and withdraw that remark.

Gerry Adams: They were not.
- Order of Business (11 Dec 2012)
Gerry Adams: I rarely have much sympathy for An Teachta Martin's view of what the Government is doing because, after all, it is implementing Fianna Fáil policy, but in this case I believe he has a point. We made it clear last week following the time set aside for the X case and A, B and C v. Ireland debate that none of our Teachtaí Dála wanted to speak on that issue, that we had said what...

Gerry Adams: Before we move on to the Order of Business, I want to raise a point of order.
- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Social Partnership (11 Dec 2012)
Gerry Adams: I want to make a point of order while you are in the Chair, a Cheann Comhairle, and while the Taoiseach is still in the Chamber. Given his defamatory remarks earlier, I want to repeat my request that the Taoiseach be asked by you, a Cheann Comhairle, to withdraw those remarks.

Gerry Adams: I am referring to the remarks he made about Jean McConville and the defamatory allegation that I was in some way involved in that poor woman's death.
- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Social Partnership (11 Dec 2012)
Gerry Adams: A Cheann Comhairle, can I just elaborate on my point, please? I was making a perfectly salient and pertinent point earlier about the Government's budget, particularly its effect on the carer's allowance, child benefit and other matters. Not through bad temper or a slip of the tongue, the Taoiseach made his remarks, which were quite a deliberate and cynical attempt to distract attention from...

Gerry Adams: I will.(b) If the member refuses to withdraw the utterance without qualification the Ceann Comhairle shall treat the matter as one of disorder: Provided that the member may claim that the matter be referred to the Committee on Procedure and Privileges in which case no further action shall be taken thereon by the Ceann Comhairle at that point.

Gerry Adams: I would not hold my breath waiting for any of that to materialise. The reason I asked a specific question about the groups the Taoiseach has met as part of the process of social dialogue was to get a sense of the Government's engagement with civic society and with the voluntary and community sector. If, as the Taoiseach said, his outreach was and is significant, then the cuts in the budget...

Gerry Adams: The public service unions have agreed to engage in initial discussions with the Government in respect of its proposals for an extension to the Croke Park agreement. It would be useful to obtain some notion of the current position with regard to these discussions. Are the Taoiseach and his Department involved in them? If not, are they kept up to date on progress? The Taoiseach will be...

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach stated he had a table of these events. Perhaps he might give us a random example of the type of non-party political events the protocol department is involved in organising.

Gerry Adams: I have a letter from the Taoiseach's Department refusing a meeting with Justice for the Forgotten. I am glad he has changed his mind. I raised the matter recently with the Taoiseach in the Chamber but he did not seem to know much about it. I would also have appreciated the opportunity to pursue the possibility of a meeting with people from Ballymurphy. I thank the Taoiseach for his...
