EU Summits (8 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: Tá a lán ceisteanna ann ach tá mé ar lorg a lán freagraí. Since the last time we met, the euro crisis has worsened. I have many questions and would like to be allowed in again, particularly regarding Question No. 9 because the Government paid €700 million of the people's money to bondholders. Last week, the Taoiseach expressed his opposition to two categories of EU membership and...

EU Summits (8 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: This will be a type of groundhog day because I will ask the Taoiseach the same questions again. Was the Taoiseach consulted about this issue? Did President Sarkozy and Chancellor Merkel act on his behalf? Does he believe they have the authority to summon Heads of Government or to threaten any member state with expulsion from the eurozone or to decide what questions can and cannot be put to...

EU Summits (8 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach stated that he does not approve or support the actions and that he was not consulted. The Lisbon treaty states that except where the treaties provide otherwise decisions of the European Council shall be taken by consensus. What is the Taoiseach doing about this action and the clear emergence of a two-tier Europe? This is an action of which he does not approve or support and...

EU Summits (8 Nov 2011)

EU Summits (8 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: What did you do about this issue of which you disapproved? You were not even consulted about it.

Order of Business (8 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: Ba mhaith liom ceist a chur faoi reachtaíocht a fógraíodh. I wish to raise this matter under promised legislation, particularly that which was promised by the Taoiseach to ensure that banks would pass on the ECB rate reduction to customers. Earlier today, I heard the Taoiseach's attitude to this. I have to say that it causes me concern because it was so watery, given what he has said...

Leaders' Questions (8 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: I understand the Cabinet met this morning to decide how many capital projects to cut. Will the Taoiseach tell the House what these are? We know the Government will cut €750 million next year - that is 7,500 jobs. On Friday, the Government published its medium-term fiscal statement which promised four years of austerity, four years of cuts in public services and four years of higher...

Leaders' Questions (8 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: -----and should instead use taxpayers' money to build schools and hospitals, roll out broadband, create jobs and set the economy on the road to recovery.

Leaders' Questions (8 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: In the interest of co-operating with the Government, and I note that the Taoiseach did not take the opportunity to tell Members about the capital projects, I suggest, as I have said many times, that the Government will not cut its way out of the recession. Is it the case that between the Cabinet meeting today and the announcement on Thursday that the Taoiseach must go off and get permission...

Leaders' Questions (8 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: Yes. Given the announcement made by the Taoiseach on Friday, why does he not face up to the fact and tell the Dáil, that December's budget will cut public services, push up the unemployment rate, increase taxation and that it is neither a jobs nor a growth package?

Leaders' Questions (8 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: I want the Taoiseach to do more than listen.

Cabinet Sub-Committees (8 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: Question 2: To ask the Taoiseach the Ministers, advisors or other persons who attend the Cabinet Sub Committee on Health. [28546/11]

Cabinet Sub-Committees (8 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: If I understand properly, the Cabinet sub-committee on health has met only once since its establishment. That is ridiculous. There are 366 patients on hospital trolleys today and, once again, the highest number is in Drogheda, where 38 are on trolleys, despite the efforts of nurses and other staff in the institution in question. Last week a former nurse and patient, Louise O'Connor, wrote-----

Cabinet Sub-Committees (8 Nov 2011)

Gerry Adams: It is still important. I will send a copy of her letter to the Cabinet sub-committee. She wrote about patients having to strip inappropriately, a lack of screens, there being no dignity, rancid wounds, filthy feet, faecal matter, poor hygiene and smells. She also wrote that there was no time to clean trolleys, floors or surfaces and related how an older gentleman with a suppressed immune...
