Departmental Functions (20 Jul 2011)

Gerry Adams: So far I have failed miserably, although not through lack of effort. The Taoiseach will be pleased to know, however, that I do not intend to give up. Why is there a 14% increase in salaries, wages and allowances in the Department of the Taoiseach between 2010 and the projected figure for 2011? How many people in the Department are employed on salaries of €100,000 or more? Does the...

Order of Business (Resumed) (20 Jul 2011)

Gerry Adams: I want to endorse the position put by Deputy Catherine Murphy earlier when seeking the Adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 as well as the position outlined by Deputy Martin.

Gerry Adams: I wish to make a point of order. I was about to do so when Deputy Martin did so.

He repeated that suggestion a minute ago. He does have choices, however. Is féidir leis an Taoiseach seasamh a dhéanamh, is féidir leis gealltanais an...

Leaders' Questions (20 Jul 2011)

Gerry Adams: -----or wherever I travelled in the interest of Irish unity and the freedom of our people, those who invited me picked up the tab. The Irish taxpayer did not pick up the tab.
