EU Summits (22 Mar 2011)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach must make it clear to them, to quote the Minister for Finance, that this is not sustainable. Why would the Taoiseach follow through on what he already says is a bad deal for Europe and for Ireland?

Programme for Government: Motion (15 Mar 2011)

Gerry Adams: Deputy Martin should have gone to Specsavers.

Programme for Government: Motion (15 Mar 2011)

Gerry Adams: Beidh deich mbomaite agamsa agus ocht mbomaite ag an Teachta Mac Lochlainn. Under Deputy Martin's rules, there are ten minutes for me and eight for Deputy Mac Lochlainn.

Programme for Government: Motion (15 Mar 2011)

Gerry Adams: Bhí mé ag éisteacht leis an nuacht ag deireadh na seachtaine agus chuala mé faoin cheiliúradh mhór i gContae Mhaigh Eo agus ba chosúil go raibh an Sam Maguire ann, leis an Taoiseach ann mar Sam, agus bhí craic iontach ann. Ócáid mhaith a bhí ann.

Programme for Government: Motion (15 Mar 2011)

Gerry Adams: Sílim go mbeidh Sam i gContae Aontroma roimh Chontae Mhaigh Eo ach sin scéal eile. In his speech, the Taoiseach cited Michael Davitt. Davitt was a former political prisoner and former member of the British Parliament. After he was released from prison where he spent seven years in the most awful brutal conditions, he was asked by Parnell what he intended to do. He said he would join the...

Order of Business (15 Mar 2011)

Gerry Adams: It is not agreed. I also wish to speak on the Order of Business.

Order of Business (15 Mar 2011)

Gerry Adams: Táimid an-mhíshásta nach bhfuil neart spás ann chun díospóireacht cheart a dhéanamh ar chlár an Rialtais. Tá Sinn Féin an-mhíshásta faoi sin. Tá an Taoiseach chun leanacht ar aghaidh le stop a chur leis an díospóireacht ag leath uair tar éis a seacht anocht agus nach mbeidh aon Aire ag teacht isteach sa Teach chun ceisteanna a freagairt. Níl aon ciall le sin. There is an...

Order of Business (15 Mar 2011)

Gerry Adams: Am I allowed a point of order?

Order of Business (15 Mar 2011)

Gerry Adams: The point of order is that we have not been given any list of promised legislation. We are being asked to adjourn the Dáil until next Tuesday.

Order of Business (15 Mar 2011)

Gerry Adams: Not agreed.

Order of Business (15 Mar 2011)

Gerry Adams: I made the same point but when I asked this question earlier, the Ceann Comhairle would not allow me in.

Order of Business (15 Mar 2011)

Gerry Adams: Maith go leor. Táimid anois i lár seachtain na Gaeilge. Táimid ag lorg eolas ón Taoiseach faoin áit ina bhfuil an straitéis 20 bliain. What is the Government position with regard to the 20-year plan? Does it intend to bring forward plans to restructure Údarás na Gaeltachta which will have elections this year? What is the Taoiseach's policy on the down-sizing of gaelscoileanna?...

Leaders' Questions (15 Mar 2011)

Gerry Adams: Caithfidh mé a rá ar dtús go n-aontaím leis an Taoiseach agus leis an Cheann Comhairle faoin rud millteanach a tharla do phobal na Seapáine. Táimid i Sinn Féin ag smaoineamh faoi mhuintir na tíre sin ag an uair millteanach seo. I am very minded that there were two small earthquakes in England recently. One of them was in Cumbria, where Sellafield is located. Perhaps the Taoiseach...

Leaders' Questions (15 Mar 2011)

Gerry Adams: Tuigim é sin.

Leaders' Questions (15 Mar 2011)

Gerry Adams: Níor chuir tú isteach ar an ceannaire eile. You did not interrupt the other speaker.

Leaders' Questions (15 Mar 2011)

Gerry Adams: Tá mé ag cur na ceiste. Éist liom, le do thoil. I am putting a question. The Minister for Finance is quoted as saying that "we are explaining to our European colleagues that there's a certain point where a combination of the sovereign debt is manageable and [with] the bank debt put on top of it we reach a point where the sustainability of the situation becomes doubtful". Sinn Féin has...

Leaders' Questions (15 Mar 2011)

Gerry Adams: With respect, the question is very simple. The Taoiseach has agreed with what the Minister for Finance said. When will it be appreciated that the combination of the sovereign debt and the banking debt is not sustainable? What will the Government do about it? I predict that the interest rates will be reduced. We do not need to talk about corporation tax. We were told during the debate on...

Leaders' Questions (15 Mar 2011)

Gerry Adams: The deal is a bad one and the Taoiseach needs to end it. He is dodging the question.

Election of Ceann Comhairle (9 Mar 2011)

Gerry Adams: Tosóidh mé le cúpla focal pearsanta. Tá mé an-bhródúil a bheith anseo mar Theacht Dála don Lú agus mar cheannaire ar Shinn Féin. Nuair a bhí mé mar ionadaí ar Iarthar Béal Feirste, ní raibh seans againn agus níl fós, a bheith tofa chuig Dáil Éireann. Mar sin, tá mé an sásta a bheith anseo le foireann mhór láidir Shinn Féin. I wish the incoming Ceann Comhairle well....

Nomination of Taoiseach (9 Mar 2011)

Gerry Adams: Gabhaim comhghairdeas arís leat, a Cheann Chomhairle, agus le do chlann. Ní féidir le Sinn Féin tacú leis an moladh an Teachta Kenny a ainmniú mar Thaoiseach. Níl iontas ar an Teachta faoi sin. Ní rud pearsanta é. Tá meas mór agam ar an mandáid a bhfuair Fine Gael. Sinn Féin set out a number of key priorities during the election campaign. These included the need to reverse...
