Leaders' Questions (30 May 2017)

Gerry Adams: The report from Dr. Geoffrey Shannon, the State's special rapporteur on child protection, on the use by An Garda Síochána of section 12 of the Child Care Act 1991 and the details that emerged on last night's "RTÉ Investigates" programme are, as the Taoiseach has acknowledged, both frightening and scandalous. According to Dr. Shannon, co-operation between Tusla and An Garda...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (24 May 2017)

Gerry Adams: We all recognise that Brexit is the greatest threat facing the economies of this island and particularly the imposition of an economic border. There was confirmation by Revenue at last week's meeting of the joint Oireachtas committee on finance that there will be significant customs checks, which flatly contradicts the Taoiseach's denial that it will happen. Revenue told the committee at...

Gerry Adams: 4. To ask the Taoiseach if he still chairs the north inner city ministerial task force. [24273/17]

Ceisteanna - Questions: Urban Renewal Schemes (24 May 2017)

Gerry Adams: I welcome the Taoiseach's interest in the north inner city. The ministerial task force was launched with great fanfare and there was a lot of hope among citizens there that finally a Government was about to take their needs and concerns seriously. We all know, as the Taoiseach acknowledged in his remarks, that the north inner city, like other working class districts in Dublin and other...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (24 May 2017)

Gerry Adams: I agree with all the positive remarks about Canada. I have been there many times and I have family there. There are very deep links with people here, particularly among people in the North and particularly those who live in Toronto. However, notwithstanding the Fianna Fáil leader's protestations, there are concerns about the implications of the Canada-EU Comprehensive Economic and...

Gerry Adams: The Leas-Cheann Comhairle should name names.

Questions on Promised Legislation (24 May 2017)

Gerry Adams: In the programme for Government, the Taoiseach committed to the State's honouring of recognition for the state of Palestine. Two and a half years ago the Dáil and the Seanad voted to do this but the Government, thus far, has refused to act. The Taoiseach still has time before he goes. The Government recognises the state of Israel, which is fair enough, but the failure to stand up for...

Leaders' Questions (24 May 2017)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach claims every request was honoured yet in November 2015 the then Minister, Deputy Bruton, turned down requests and said the ODCE, other offices, and their respective management "have had to reconfigure their organisations and adapt to a constrained-resources environment in continuing to deliver their mandates" because of the moratorium. That is a complete, sharp contradiction of...

Leaders' Questions (24 May 2017)

Gerry Adams: Does the Taoiseach agree we should draw on international best practice for tackling white collar crime with appropriate and properly resourced agencies and strong robust legislation and get rid of this agency?

Leaders' Questions (24 May 2017)

Gerry Adams: I have raised with the Taoiseach on a number of occasions the lack of accountability with the high rollers, with the elites, with the golden circles in this State. This blatant lack of accountability contrasts sharply with how people of few means and little power or influence are treated. This goes to the heart of public alienation from politics and disillusionment with the agencies of this...
