Will the Taoiseach ask the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel whether she understands that instead of imposing the prohibitive and delaying tactic of setting up a European cental monetary banking situation, dealing with the legacy debt in banking systems, particularly Ireland's, is an imperative? She is doing everything to delay what needs to be done. Deutsche Bank, Germany's largest bank, has recently been examined and is seen to be over-leveraged, undercapitalised and carrying assets the collectibility of which is uncertain. I am sorry for sounding under pressure, but this should be a conversation-----
