Departmental Correspondence (13 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: I do not wish to correct to the Taoiseach's grasp of geography, but clearly sections of the establishment here do not have a strong grasp of geography. This may be the first visit of the Queen of England to this State, but she has come to the country, particularly that part the President comes from, many times.

Government Economic Management Council (13 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil mé ag cur isteach ar an Taoiseach mar go bhfuil mé ag lorg eolais. Ní féidir liom eolas a fháil uaidh nuair a chuirim mo cheisteanna i mBéarla agus mar sin cuirfidh mé an cheist faoin ábhar seo i nGaeilge. Cé hiad na daoine ar an chomhairle seo?

Leaders' Questions (13 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: I am coming to that. He promised to put interest payments on the agenda at the EU summit and then he backed down and took it off. He came here and boasted that such was his initiative. Now we are being told through the media that there will be a revised memorandum of understanding published on Friday. There is no doubt in my mind that this will contain more cuts and austerity. The...

Leaders' Questions (13 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: How does the Taoiseach continue to lumber the Irish people with a colossal debt to reinforce and keep buying in to an EU-IMF deal which we cannot afford and how does he hope to continue to cut his way out of recession when it is patently obvious that this situation is not sustainable?

Leaders' Questions (13 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach should come here. I heard about the revised memorandum of understanding from the media. I did not hear it from him. I think he is missing the point. I am genuinely trying to understand his negotiating strategy. I am trying to come to terms with how he is trying to achieve the objectives he has set out. I do not understand it and I am sure the Irish people do not understand...
