Ceisteanna - Questions: Official Engagements (31 Jan 2017)

Gerry Adams: The words of Donald Trump and now the decisions by President Trump have caused huge anger across the US and around the world, including in Ireland.

The Taoiseach has said as much in interviews and here in the Dáil...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Official Engagements (31 Jan 2017)

Ceisteanna - Questions: Brexit Issues (31 Jan 2017)

Gerry Adams: I listened intently to the Taoiseach's report and to what he and the British Prime Minister stated yesterday. I saw no mention of the Taoiseach defending the vote of the people in the North to stay within the EU.
