Pre-European Council: Statements (18 Oct 2017)

Gerry Adams: Beidh mise agus Teachta Seán Crowe ag caint. Michel Barnier's determination that the Brexit negotiations could not move to the next stage was inevitable, given the lack of willingness of the British Government to engage substantially on three key issues. The Tories repeat the same platitudes and language about the Good Friday Agreement and the Border that they have used for the past...

Ceisteanna - Questions: EU Summits (18 Oct 2017)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach had the opportunity to discuss the future of Europe informally. Although he said the discussions were not in-depth, I presume they included Brexit and so on. We will have the chance to deal with the European Council summit and will have statements on it today. I picked up on what Commissioner Phil Hogan said, namely, that it is clear that the British Government is not...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (18 Oct 2017)

Gerry Adams: Will the Taoiseach advise if the tracker mortgage scandal has been discussed by Cabinet committee A?

The Central Bank has said that just one in four of those who have faced...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Communications (18 Oct 2017)

Gerry Adams: I have no problem with the Government using modern technology and the modern methods available to us. That is very sensible and appropriate. I return, however, to the Taoiseach's claim that the strategic communications unit will be cost-neutral. Will he explain it to us, given that there has been the allocation of an additional €5 million for the unit? He did not do that in his...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Communications (18 Oct 2017)

Gerry Adams: I would have thought that Teachta McGrath would have been across that detail, given that his party facilitated the budget. That said, to go back to the issues raised, the Taoiseach published this tender for the production of tracking polls, amounting to €130,000 plus VAT every year. That is a substantial amount of public money. I ask the Taoiseach to provide examples and to clarify...

Questions on Promised Legislation (18 Oct 2017)

Gerry Adams: I wish to refer to the Criminal Justice (Victims of Crime) Bill which was passed this morning and, in that context, to the Government's commitment to support victims. Two years ago this month Garda Tony Golden was murdered in Omeath. Siobhán Phillips was grievously wounded and Crevan Mackin took his own life. I wrote to the then Taoiseach, Deputy Enda Kenny, four times. I also spoke...

Leaders' Questions (18 Oct 2017)

Gerry Adams: Our alternative budget provided for the reversal of this cut.

Leaders' Questions (18 Oct 2017)

Gerry Adams: I will repeat myself. Our alternative budget proposal provided the means to reverse this cut and costed it at €70 million. The Taoiseach has not contradicted that or challenged it. Neither has he challenged the fact that Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil can, between them, reverse this cut. The root of the problem is they decided not to. They decided in their confidence and supply...
