That is the demand of those currently negotiating with Mrs. Merkel to form a government. What we want is a message from him, or whoever replies on his behalf if he is not here, and I thank him for staying to hear my speech, that we will not accept any negotiation that threatens Ireland's corporate tax, recapitalisation and credit line. We will not pay any such price that is demanded and delivered by Mrs. Merkel, the German Chancellor because she does not care. She does not have some sort of emotional attachment to Ireland. As she said when she was re-elected, "Ireland is doing very well". I do not wish Ireland to be doing well by European standards, Ireland should be doing well by the demands of Irish citizens.
