Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

----- it is like the financial transaction tax. Some countries in Europe have declared their support for it, but others are opposed. We have a clear view on the matter, but we cannot influence other countries in terms of the way they structure their tax systems. We would not want to be disadvantaged by any decision made on a financial transactions tax that might apply in Paris, Amsterdam or Frankfurt but put us at a competitive disadvantage against London. The British Prime Minister was equally vociferous on the matter.

I would be happy to meet the Ballymurphy relatives. I was asked a similar question at the meeting on Friday about meeting the Kingsmill relatives. I told the Minister for Regional Development, Danny Kennedy, MLA, that I would be happy to do so when I had the opportunity.
