Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (25 Oct 2017)

Gerry Adams: We all know the disastrous decision by the English Tories to call a referendum. The outworking of that referendum has placed a huge burden on people in Scotland, this State and the North and created very real economic, political and social challenges. Scotland, like the North, runs the risk of being pulled out of the European Union against its will. In the case of this island, it is...

Leaders' Questions (25 Oct 2017)

Gerry Adams: I want to talk to the Taoiseach about the North and about his Government's recent briefings to the media.

Michelle is a senior member of the party. In...

Leaders' Questions (25 Oct 2017)

Gerry Adams: I never give up. The Taoiseach has learned nothing. I asked him a straightforward question. These were briefings from his Government. What about accountability? What about transparency? I asked him what they were about and he did not answer. The Taoiseach should also explain why a Government source accused Sinn Féin - as the Taoiseach has done just now - of being more focused on...

Gerry Adams: With respect to the Taoiseach, Deputy Varadkar, and John Bruton, the Taoiseach has to fulfil his responsibilities, his obligations and his duty to the people of the entire island. In particular, he must deal with the British Prime Minister as an equal and ensure that both Governments honour their obligations. That is much more difficult than last week's carry on. It is much more difficult...
