Prospects for Irish Economy: Statements (Resumed) (25 Oct 2012)

Gerry Adams: I do not make this up. It is in the manifesto which formed the basis of Fine Gael's electoral mandate. Fine Gael promised an additional investment of €7 billion in energy, communications and water services to give Ireland a first-class infrastructure. I did not make up the promise to announce a jobs budget within the first 100 days of the Government coming to power. That was watered...

European Council Meeting: Statements (24 Oct 2012)

Gerry Adams: I wish to make a few remarks about this word "special". The joint communiqué with Angela Merkel was a very necessary piece of damage limitation, required because of what she had said and the interpretation thereof. Let us not over-egg that though, because it was full of the language of diplomacy, of constructive ambiguity, of fudge. I may be able to help Teachta Boyd Barrett with his...

European Council Meeting: Statements (24 Oct 2012)

Gerry Adams: I hope that does not phase the Tánaiste in the time ahead. I am sorry that the Taoiseach had to leave. That is not a complaint - I simply wanted to make a point to him. When he was asked if he thought our debt was sustainable, he said that it was unfair. I have been arguing, as has my party, that the Government has a very strong hand to play here. In our weakness, we have strength....

European Council Meeting: Statements (24 Oct 2012)

Gerry Adams: Yes. Yet another summit has come and gone and our debt remains intact and the economic distress and social disadvantage of many of our citizens increases on a daily basis. I know the negotiations are ongoing, they have yet to conclude, and there will be ups and downs during that process. Sinn Féin's position is to support the Government's efforts, but that includes being critical in a...

Order of Business (24 Oct 2012)

Gerry Adams: Ba mhaith liom fáilte a chur roimh an nuacht faoi Tom Arnold a bheith tofa mar Chathaoirleach ar an consitutional convention. Tá mé buíoch go háirithe don Taoiseach mar gur thug sé an scéal sin dúinn sa Teach seo. Cén uair an mbeidh an convention ag bualadh le chéile agus an féidir leis imeacht ón chathair seo? Tá a fhios...

Leaders' Questions (24 Oct 2012)

Gerry Adams: I welcome that very clear commitment. I am sure the Taoiseach appreciates that parents of sick children will be discommoded by the various spins in the media, not least that the Taoiseach's partners in government felt the need to brief on the alternative report and so on. There is not general confidence in the Minister for Health; in fact, this party has no confidence at all in the Minister...

Leaders' Questions (24 Oct 2012)

Gerry Adams: Ní cheart go mbeadh an Taoiseach buartha faoin méid a dúirt ceannaire Fhianna Fáil. Tá fadhb níos mó ná sin i gceist. Is léir arís go bhfuil an tAire Sláinte ag titim ó géarchéim go ghéarchéim eile. Is í sin an fhadhb is tábhachtaí ar an maidin seo. I have been reflecting on what the parents of...

Leaders' Questions (24 Oct 2012)

Gerry Adams: The leader of Fianna Fáil has no credibility on this issue, given how his party mishandled the issue.

Leaders' Questions (24 Oct 2012)

Gerry Adams: The fact is that Fianna Fáil mishandled the issue for five years. The Labour Party's need to brief the media about the Tánaiste's alternative report is clearly intended to appease those who expressed disquiet about the competence of the Minister for Health following the resignation of the former Minister of State, Deputy Róisín Shortall. This is no way to govern,...
