European Council Meetings: Statements (29 Jun 2011)

Gerry Adams: As the Taoiseach has heard me say before, I do not understand his negotiating strategy, although I have tried hard. I do not think Fianna Fáil has much credibility on this issue, but that is scéal eile. When Fine Gael was in Opposition, he was quite rightly against this deal. What are his objectives? He has set them in broad-stroke terms. Since he came into Government, every time he...

European Council Meetings: Statements (29 Jun 2011)

Gerry Adams: Excuse me. Deputy Mathews is doing exactly what I accused all the Deputies of doing, and I am surprised at him. Would the Taoiseach not agree that the dreadful social consequences of this deal are too great for Irish taxpayers to have to pay? Would the Government not be better to do now, in a planned way, what it should have done when it came into Government - that is, to tell our partners...

European Council Meetings: Statements (29 Jun 2011)

Gerry Adams: Go raibh míle maith agat. The substance of the Government's approach to the EU summit seems to have been to convince our partners in Europe that we are not Greece. Nuair a bhí an pobal Gréigeach ag léirsiú tamall ó shin, dúirt siad "ní Éireannaigh muidne". Mar sin, tá dhá thaobh den scéal sin. The unfortunate reality is that if the Government continues to follow the failed the...

Leaders' Questions (29 Jun 2011)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach will recall that some weeks ago I raised the issue of the impending crisis arising from the shortage of junior doctors. I named the hospitals which I believed would be affected and I asked the Taoiseach to intervene. I called on the Minister for Health to make a statement. He has not been accountable to the Dáil since 31 May. No statement has been made on the issue. Deputy...

Leaders' Questions (29 Jun 2011)

Gerry Adams: I want the Taoiseach to reflect on what he said. There is no recollection on these benches that the Minister made a statement in the House. He made a statement to the media. He said some hospitals could not be safely manned, mar dheá. I asked him to name the hospitals but he has not done that. Once again, the Taoiseach has not answered the question about the ambulance service. I should...

State Visits (29 Jun 2011)

Gerry Adams: I know a lot; I get my black and white pudding there, but sin scéal eile. Deputy Keating referred to the political benefits arising from the English Queen's visit. I have a question on this because it concerns the job of the Government. I was in Cork at a united Ireland conference, which was very successful and at which we had a very good discussion. Has the Government raised or has it...
