Appointments to State Boards (7 Feb 2012)

Gerry Adams: I have indicated to the Taoiseach on previous occasions my view that the committees do not have any real power and should instead be modelled on those in operation on Capitol Hill. Putting that to one side, it is good that the posts the Taoiseach named have been advertised. However, I asked him specifically about the eight different boards within the Department of Justice and Equality in...

Official Engagements (7 Feb 2012)

Gerry Adams: I thank the Taoiseach for raising these issues with the British Prime Minister. My colleagues and I were involved in very close negotiations with the British Government for at least ten years in a very open way.

Leaders' Questions (7 Feb 2012)

Gerry Adams: I agree with Deputy Martin regarding the plight of citizens who are waiting for new medical cards and who are caught in a bind because they have not received their medication.

Leaders' Questions (7 Feb 2012)

Gerry Adams: There is a certain benign arrogance in the way the Taoiseach addresses some of these questions. One week he referred to citizens as being mad and this week he referred to them as spluttering into their pints. I am advised the Galway problem was caused by a public sewerage scheme and not by private septic tanks. It is the case that septic tanks in the North are desludged every year and the...

Leaders' Questions (7 Feb 2012)

Gerry Adams: Why cannot there be a full grant aid scheme? Just before Christmas, the Minister said this could cost citizens in excess of €8,000 but last night he said it would cost €100. I have attended public meetings, including in my constituency, and people just cannot afford to pay this. They see it as discrimination against them and I agree with them completely. Those directives dated back to...

Leaders' Questions (7 Feb 2012)

Gerry Adams: In any society people should have safe sewage and the State should uphold that. When one forces a system on people through a series of threats, fines and all the rest, why can the Minister not simply stand up and say that the State will bear the cost of upgrading any tanks that need to be upgraded?
