Leaders' Questions (20 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach stated the then Minister for Finance should have known this, yet he stated earlier that there might be others about whom he did not know who would walk away with a great deal of money. That is exactly what he stated.

Leaders' Questions (20 Apr 2011)

Leaders' Questions (20 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: Sin é. Is that the case? What about senior management? Surely, it must go. What about the public interest directors? Do they not have a case to answer? This is occurring on the Taoiseach's watch. He needs to know and tell the House clearly that bankers will not walk away with obscene amounts of the people's money.

Order of Business (20 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: I may have misheard the Taoiseach. I think he said we had a debate yesterday on the memorandum of understanding, but I must have missed that. The Government promised a referendum to overturn the results of the Abbeylara case. Is it intended that this will be held in conjunction with the presidential election in November? Will the promised children's rights referendum also be held in...

Order of Business (20 Apr 2011)

State Visits (20 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: Beidh fáilte roimh cuairt an Uachtarán Obama go hÉirinn. Ní aontaíonn Sinn Féin le go leor polasaithe atá ag teacht ón Teach Bán. Nuair a bhí seans agam, dúirt mé a leithéid leis na hUachtaráin Clinton, Bush agus Obama. Caithfimid bheith an-soiléir gur thacaigh Rialtas Mheiriceá leis an bpróiseas síochána in Éirinn. Síleann poblachtánaigh agus saoránaigh eile go...

State Visits (20 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: Maith go leor. Cuirfidh mé mo cheist i mBéarla. I find it rather patronising that the Taoiseach refers to this as a sign that Ireland has grown up as if, in some way, we were adolescent, immature or juvenile. A better mark of what is wrong with a section of Ireland is in the Nyberg report. However, I come directly to the issue. Does the Taoiseach agree that while some people may wish...

State Visits (20 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: -----that is conscious of the history between the islands. We have yet to make our own history because we are still partitioned. Those of us who wish to point out these things and to celebrate republicanism as opposed to monarchy should have the right to do so.

Inward Investment (20 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: Aontaím leis an Taoiseach ar an ábhar seo agus déanfaimid ár ndícheall chun tacaíocht a thabhairt dó go mbeidh seans ann é a dhéanamh agus tá súil againn go n-éireoidh an t-adh leis san obair seo. An aontaíonn an Taoiseach go gcaithfimid iomaíocht a athrú ar an oileán seo go mbeidh comhoibriú ann idir infheistíocht sa tír ón taobh amuigh agus gnóthaí dúchasacha a...

Programmes for Government (20 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: As part of this outline, will the Taoiseach put in place a very easy-to-read outline of the number of U-turns and flip-flops in the implementation of the programme for Government? For example, "not a red cent" has become "billions into the banks". The Taoiseach has also conceded that he will pay outgoing bankers.

Symphysiotomy Procedures (20 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: There is a series of scandals involving the health service which have a particular resonance in County Louth. They include the allegations of abuse surrounding consultant surgeon Michael Shine in Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda which previous Ministers failed to deal with properly or humanely.

Leaders' Questions (19 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: I note from media reports this morning that the former director of Allied Irish Banks, Colm Doherty, received a package of €3 million when he stepped down last November. I accept that this happened under a Fianna Fáil Government, or at least the contract was put together under that Administration. I call on the Government to intervene now to stop this obscene payment. People are in...
