Private Members' Business: Community Employment Schemes: Motion (Resumed) (8 Feb 2012)

Gerry Adams: The social consequences of the austerity policies of this Government are evident every single day in the cuts to essential public services, the number of young people leaving our shores, the cuts to DEIS schools, the household charge, the slashing of school guidance counsellor numbers, the attack on rural communities through the septic tank debacle, stealth taxes, the crisis in our health...

Order of Business (8 Feb 2012)

Gerry Adams: Tá cúpla ceist ar dtús faoi reachtaíocht atá fógraithe. On 26 January, the Tánaiste told the Dáil the Government is not considering legislation to introduce a system of attachment orders, which would allow money to be taken from wages or social welfare payments so the Government can implement the punitive household and septic tank charges. However, in a written reply to my...

The other issue is that the Taoiseach has promised on a number of occasions to meet with Opposition leaders to discuss the constitutional convention. I have written to him in some detail about that. Second, the...

Leaders' Questions (8 Feb 2012)

Gerry Adams: Ní raibh aithne maith agam ar John Cunningham, ach tá a fhios agam gur eagarthóir an-mhaith ab ea é. Tá mé libhse ar an maidin brónach seo. Tá ár smaointe le muintir Cunningham inniu. Tá sé soiléir go bhfuil an ghéarchéim sna seirbhísí poiblí ag dul i ndonas de bharr an beart gátair seo. Tá sé thar am don Rialtas a bhád a chasadh agus polasaí eile a chur i bhfeidhm....

Leaders' Questions (8 Feb 2012)

Gerry Adams: Caithfidh mé a rá go sílim gur thuig an Taoiseach go breá an méid a dúirt mé i nGaeilge. Tá sé ag magadh fúm, ach sin scéal eile. It is difficult to know which Taoiseach to believe. Is it the Taoiseach who said on RTE radio on Sunday that the transition teams are in place or the one who told us yesterday that they are not in place? These are the transition teams to deal with...

Leaders' Questions (8 Feb 2012)

Gerry Adams: I asked the Taoiseach if he would consider changing tack and setting aside this austerity policy. He said in his response, if I am quoting him properly, that austerity policies on their own cannot work, but that is all he is giving us. There are no initiatives for job creation. There are no initiatives to deal with any of these matters. Will the Taoiseach lift the recruitment embargo?...

Order of Business (7 Feb 2012)

Gerry Adams: A Leas-Cheann Comhairle, I was waiting for you to read out motion No. 11. I may be remiss but I want to put it on the record that this effort to put together participation in the European Union battle group with a 20 minute debate is not sufficient. Sinn Féin has consistently placed on record our opposition to Irish involvement in these EU battle groups. There are clearly elements within...

Appointments to State Boards (7 Feb 2012)

Gerry Adams: Athruithe polaitiúla agus athruithe tríd an gcóras a dúirt Fine Gael a bheadh ann faoi Rialtas Nua. Dúirt an Taoiseach é sin i rith an toghcháin beagnach bliain ó shin, ach ní sin atá ag tarlú nó atá á dhéanamh ag an Rialtas. Despite what the Taoiseach said in reply to an Teachta Joe Higgins, the fact is that vacancies for all paid positions on State boards are not being...
