Clarification of Statements made by the Taoiseach and Ministers: Statements (Resumed) (14 Feb 2017)

Gerry Adams: Deputies Mary Lou McDonald, Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire and Jonathan O'Brien. The purpose of this evening's proceedings was for Ministers to set out what they knew and when they knew about the shameful campaign against Maurice McCabe. Can we start the time again? The Taoiseach was engaged in a conversation. My question is for him. I would like him to hear the question I am putting to him.

Clarification of Statements made by the Taoiseach and Ministers: Statements (Resumed) (14 Feb 2017)

Gerry Adams: The purpose of this evening's proceedings was for Ministers to set out what they knew and when they knew about the shameful campaign against Maurice McCabe. The Taoiseach has not done this. I have asked him repeatedly to tell the Dáil when he became aware of the false child abuse allegations against Maurice McCabe. Perhaps it was years ago. We do not know. He has ignored my...

Gerry Adams: This all boils down to how we engage with the social partners.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Urban Renewal Schemes (14 Feb 2017)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach will recall that the task force was set up after a spate of shootings in the north inner city but, of course, the social and other difficulties facing people in the area date back decades.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Programme for Government (14 Feb 2017)

Gerry Adams: As everybody knows, last week we had a series of contradictory statements from a number of Ministers, including in the Dáil Chamber. Contradictory accounts have been given by Ministers and by the Taoiseach in terms of his contradiction earlier of what the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs said. It appears from what the Taoiseach said that the Fianna Fáil arrangement with...

Gerry Adams: As I said, if the Taoiseach gave a fig about accountability, we would not have to tear this out of him. He needs to say "Yes", that he will facilitate the type of debate we have asked for and that he will do so today. He should stand up and say that.
