Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach is rabbiting on with complete nonsense.

Order of Business (14 Feb 2017)

Gerry Adams: If the Taoiseach gave one fig about being accountable to the Dáil, it should not have taken Members of the Opposition to rise here and ask for a special debate on these matters for things to happen.

Leaders' Questions (14 Feb 2017)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach will know that Sinn Féin has tabled a motion of no confidence in the Government. If he wants to know why, he should reflect on his mea culpaof a moment ago.

The tipping point for Sinn Féin was the way that the Government...

Leaders' Questions (14 Feb 2017)

Gerry Adams: It should not proceed without their full agreement. While the Government remains in office there will be no truth. There will be no justice for Maurice McCabe and no resolution of the wider issues underpinning this shameful episode. A criminal investigation is needed. Last week the Government rejected a Sinn Féin amendment to the terms of reference of its ill-fated commission. The...
