Mr. Dan O'Brien:

It was 11 pages long but how many people read it? The issue of vision was raised as well. Deputy Durkan mentioned that the euro is not the cause of our problems and I fully agree. It strikes me that the euro was like a building in an earthquake zone, but the earthquake caused the problems not the building itself. However, the building is damaged and if we are inside that building when it comes down, then we are in big trouble. The building is going to come down unless we do a great deal more to change it and I fully agree that we need a vision for that. That vision is a federal Europe and I am comfortable with it but I am unsure whether the people of Europe would vote for it.
