Pre-European Council: Statements (14 Dec 2016)

Gerry Adams: I am sharing with Teachta Seán Crowe.

Pre-European Council: Statements (14 Dec 2016)

Gerry Adams: We will take five minutes each. I note that Teachta Martin's fixation with Sinn Féin continues. In discussing the awfulness of the war in Syria, he mentions us in his prayers for the conversion of Russia. We have no truck for Russia or for any of the big powers. We are clearly against aggression of all kinds, unlike Teachta Martin, who seems to be in support of some of the forces...

Ceisteanna - Questions: EU Meetings (14 Dec 2016)

Gerry Adams: I am also surprised that Setanta Insurance was not raised. It is interesting that Mr. Muscat, in a recent BBC interview, said the issue of the Border, in the context of Brexit, is of crucial importance. He said:There will be issues relating to borders, especially the Irish issue, which I think is one of the most politically sensitive issues. I think there is a political willingness from...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (14 Dec 2016)

Gerry Adams: I also welcome the Taoiseach's meeting with the Berkeley tragedy families. I commend them on their great courage and commitment in ensuring such an accident will not happen again. When I was in New York recently, I noted there are concerns within Irish America, among the undocumented and with some of the political leadership about the plight of the undocumented. I know the Taoiseach has...

Gerry Adams: 9. To ask the Taoiseach if he will report on his visit to the United States of America; and if he met any representatives of the undocumented Irish. [38775/16]

Ceisteanna - Questions: European Council Meetings (14 Dec 2016)

Gerry Adams: I will be brief. Previously, I have raised with the Ceann Comhairle the way we do these questions. I will spend a moment on this, if I may.

Ceisteanna - Questions: European Council Meetings (14 Dec 2016)

Gerry Adams: Yes.

Ceisteanna - Questions: European Council Meetings (14 Dec 2016)

Gerry Adams: That is the point I am trying to make. Four questions are being taken together. When the Taoiseach's contribution is included, it means that we have two minutes each. That does not work. I appreciate that this new way of doing business means we are dealing with topical issues but we do not have sufficient time to listen to the Taoiseach's response because he does not have sufficient time...

Ceisteanna - Questions: European Council Meetings (14 Dec 2016)

Gerry Adams: 4. To ask the Taoiseach the items he has sought to have included on the agenda of the next meeting of the European Council or the next informal meeting of the EU 27 Heads of State and Government. [39816/16]

Questions on Proposed Legislation (14 Dec 2016)

Gerry Adams: The former Minister of State at the Department of Justice and Equality, Aodhán Ó Ríordáin, told the Traveller community more than 20 months ago that Traveller ethnicity would be recognised within six months. This, understandably, raised expectations which were not delivered on. I have raised this issue consistently with the Taoiseach and have pointed out that there is no...

Leaders' Questions (14 Dec 2016)

Gerry Adams: Why no rent certainty?

Leaders' Questions (14 Dec 2016)

Gerry Adams: Tá mé cinnte go bhfuil do dhícheall á dhéanamh agat. Yesterday, I raised with the Taoiseach the Government's ill-thought-out proposals on the rental sector. I focused on two elements, namely, the absence of rent certainty and the Government's failure to deal with the difficulties - or even acknowledge the difficulties - faced by families in rented accommodation...

Leaders' Questions (14 Dec 2016)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach says that the supply of houses is not there. Why is it not there? It is because the Government will not put public money into it. Instead, it put taxpayers' money into the pockets of the big bankers and their cronies. The Minister said yesterday, "Really, we're kind of putting a bridle on the horse that has been almost out of control for the last two years". He said:...
