- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (7 Feb 2017)
Gerry Adams: Can I also raise again with the Taoiseach the concerns which have arisen about the future of our fishing industry following Brexit? The British fishing industry wants to exclude all foreign boats, which includes us, from its fisheries zone after Brexit. That will directly impact on at least 36% of fish caught by this State’s meagre fishing fleet. It means other fishing fleets will...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Constitutional Amendments (7 Feb 2017)
Gerry Adams: The Constitutional Convention made 38 recommendations and referenda were held on two. There is no clarity in the Taoiseach's reply today as to whether there will be a referendum this year. I wish to tease that out a little. The Taoiseach said that the issue of citizens living outside the State is under detailed consideration by the Government. What does "detailed consideration" mean?
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Constitutional Amendments (7 Feb 2017)
Gerry Adams: It is quite straightforward. Most other states give their citizens who are not resident in the state the right to vote. Given that the Taoiseach is due to visit the USA and that he will be raising the concerns about the status of citizens of this State who are exiled there, it would be nice if he could tell them that the Government is prepared to uphold their right to vote at home in...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (7 Feb 2017)
Gerry Adams: We are not allowed to know how much input the Cabinet committee had into the Government's rural development plan, but there is really nothing in the plan that is new. Much like the promises we have had regarding health services, the document is long on rhetoric but without any real substance. The publication of the rural development plan coincides with the closure of post offices, Garda...

- Order of Business (7 Feb 2017)
Gerry Adams: I wish to ask the Taoiseach again about the Government's commitment to recognise Traveller ethnicity. Will the Taoiseach update us on the position? A recent report of the ESRI highlighted the many areas of inequality and disadvantage confronting the Traveller community. Crucially, the report supports ethnicity. Each time I have raised this with the Taoiseach, he has said work is being...

Gerry Adams: Yes.
- Leaders' Questions (7 Feb 2017)
Gerry Adams: The idea for a committee to look at a ten-year health plan did not come from the Minister but from an Teachta Róisín Shortall. Both Deputies O’Reilly and Buckley, on behalf of Sinn Féin, play a full part in that committee. The waiting list figures were kept away from that committee, however. I asked the Taoiseach to consider the proposition for a single integrated...
