- Leaders' Questions (26 Jun 2012)
Gerry Adams: ArÃs, nÃor thug an Taoiseach freagra soiléir ar an cheist a chur mé air. It is very simple in whatever language we speak. The Taoiseach is paying out billions of euro to bondholders while planning to take money from those who can least afford it, and to increase taxes. The Taoiseach stated in his programme for Government that he would not cut welfare rates or increase taxes but I see...

- Local Government (Household Charge) (Repeal) Bill 2012: Second Stage (Resumed) [Private Members] (20 Jun 2012)
Gerry Adams: I commend Teachta Brian Stanley on bringing forward this repeal Bill. We all know - the Government even admits it itself - the household charge has been a disaster for all those citizens burdened with paying it and for this Government which has stubbornly insisted on imposing it. It should be scrapped. Everybody makes mistakes and the Government should simply scrap this charge and...
- Local Government (Household Charge) (Repeal) Bill 2012: Second Stage (Resumed) [Private Members] (20 Jun 2012)
Gerry Adams: This Government has failed to stand against the payment of a â¬3.1 billion promissory note and has, in fact, boasted that it has not asked for a write down of the unjust banking debt imposed on Irish citizens and which has forced more of our people, in particular our young people, to emigrate. We made an alternative budget submission but the Government has failed to introduce practical and...
- Local Government (Household Charge) (Repeal) Bill 2012: Second Stage (Resumed) [Private Members] (20 Jun 2012)
Gerry Adams: I am glad the Minister of State admits that. The Government could introduce a cap on wages in the public sector at â¬100,000, which would raise â¬265 million. It could introduce a third tax band of 48% on earnings over â¬100,000, which would bring in â¬410 million in a fair and progressive way. These are just two examples. The household charge has been rejected by the people. As I...
- Leaders' Questions (20 Jun 2012)
Gerry Adams: Tá gealltanas soiléir i bhForógra 1916 a léirÃonn gur cóir cúram cothrom a thabhairt d'achan páiste sa náisiún, ach is soiléir go bhfuil an gealltanas sin scriosta. Bhà ionadh an domhain orm ar maidin nuair a léigh mé faoi na páÃstà a fuair bás agus iad i gcúram an Stáit. It is deeply shocking that at the height of the Celtic tiger 196 young people died while in the care...
- Leaders' Questions (20 Jun 2012)
Gerry Adams: -----and it is an indictment of the refusal to invest during the boom years in adequate public services. Where is the equality for these families? Is the Taoiseach satisfied that the injustices identified in the report relating to the systems of care for vulnerable children and young people have been rectified? Have the required resources, including personnel such as social workers, been...
- Leaders' Questions (20 Jun 2012)
Gerry Adams: I thank the Taoiseach for that response. I also commend the authors of the reports. We have seen others reports, including the Ryan report and the Tracey Fay report, on these issues and it is an indictment of the State that this happened, but it will be an indictment of all of us, regardless of our party political allegiances, if we do not rectify these matters in this term. I make this...
