Nomination of Taoiseach (Resumed) (14 Jun 2017)

Gerry Adams: However, this Chamber is also a bubble, a silo detached from the lives of citizens. Sometimes politics takes the form of cheap shots, slander, demonisation and playing to the lowest common denominator. The first term of this Government saw lots of that. The political discourse was cheapened and coarsened as a result. I hope the new Taoiseach does not repeat that mistake. I think he is...

Gerry Adams: We could not get the former Taoiseach to stretch as far as that.

Nomination of Taoiseach (Resumed) (14 Jun 2017)

Gerry Adams: This is a big day for Leo and his clan, who are rightly proud. We wish them all well. Maybe he is perplexed by Sinn Féin's refusal to accept the status quoor join the cosy club typified by his party's little arrangement with Fianna Fáil. Declaring that he is going to take on Sinn Féin might play well in some quarters, but it means little in the real world. Successive British...

I particularly welcome Deputy Leo Varadkar's family to the House who are proud and happy on this...

Resignation of Taoiseach (13 Jun 2017)

Gerry Adams: I want to start by wishing the outgoing Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, well. Tá muintir Fhine Gael agus Mhaigh Eo buíoch don Taoiseach agus tá mé buíoch don Taoiseach fosta. Ní aontaím leis ar a lán rudaí, ach tá a fhios agam go ndearna sé a dhícheall. Sinn Féin and Fine Gael did not agree on many issues and I did not see eye to...

Leaders' Questions (31 May 2017)

Gerry Adams: The tracker mortgage scandal carries on for thousands of families. Given the Taoiseach's lack of a record in tackling corruption or white collar crime, people will be appalled by his response to these issues. He has no vision whatsoever for reform of the banking sector. He just wants to wind back to 2008. What is wrong with the people continuing to own the bank for which they paid so...
