Northern Ireland Issues (15 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: I thank the Minister of State for her commitment to assist the campaign and continue to support the families. I know I have very little time, but I want to read this into the Dáil record. The failure to expose this massacre at the time it occurred meant that the same regiment left Ballymurphy, went to Derry and killed 14 innocent civilians there. They then came back to Belfast, killed a...

Northern Ireland Issues (15 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: The British Government is not assisting in this process.

Programmes for Government (15 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: Tá cuig cheist agam agus ba mhaith liom go leor ama. The Taoiseach stated there were no plans to bring forward a new programme for Government. This is very disappointing. Any review of his term so far would show that it has been marked by the number of times he has departed from the programme for Government. The Taoiseach promised to renegotiate the EU-IMF deal and instead he has...

Programmes for Government (15 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: I still want to commend our budget submission to the Taoiseach. If he takes the time to read it he might think it is of some assistance to him. Part of the problem is that the Taoiseach points out the things Fianna Fáil did wrong and then goes about doing exactly the same things all over again. The Taoiseach is trying to sell a very dead fish and it smells. He needs to be straight with...

Programmes for Government (15 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: I ask the Taoiseach to consider that point and the error of his ways. On the arrangement put in place last week, he said in four years time despite all the fiscal and other adjustments we will make there will still be almost 400,000 people unemployed. That is a signalling failure in advance.

Proposed Legislation (15 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: Question 9: To ask the Taoiseach his plans to bring forward legislation on Cabinet confidentiality. [34188/11]

Proposed Legislation (15 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: Will the Taoiseach repeat his response to Questions Nos. 8 and 9? I did not hear it.

Proposed Legislation (15 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: That response leaves me no clearer on the question of proposed legislation on Cabinet confidentiality. In an earlier response on another issue, the Taoiseach said that when he seeks information he cannot find it. I am in the same position. The Government's view on Cabinet confidentiality is set out in the programme for Government, which states: "We believe that in recent years an...

Proposed Legislation (15 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: May I ask - it is not really a question, it is more of an appeal-----

Proposed Legislation (15 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: I will put it as a question. Would the Taoiseach please read over the record of that little exchange between us? The Taoiseach should remember when he used to be over here trying to getting information in response to a question such as I asked. I am no clearer.

Proposed Legislation (15 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: Question 12: To ask the Taoiseach if he will report on recent meetings he has held with the social partners; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34189/11]

Official Engagements (15 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: In the discussions in which the Taoiseach and Tánaiste engaged, was there any discussion of the temporary agency workers directive? If so, will the Taoiseach outline the detail in that regard and say if the Government will be seeking a derogation or if full effect is to be given to the directive? Perhaps the Taoiseach will say also if the issue of legislation to deal with the joint labour...

Job Creation (15 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: Question 14: To ask the Taoiseach the meetings he has attended in relation to the issue of job creation. [34190/11]

Job Creation (15 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: I agree with everything the Taoiseach said in his opening remarks. There is no more important part of the legacy of a Government than to have created jobs. By his own admission, at the end of his Government's four year austerity programme, there will be almost as many people still unemployed as there are now. This is the biggest crisis facing the State. Can the idea of a substantive jobs...
