Tony Gregory (Dublin Central, Independent)

Tugaim tacaíocht iomlán do gach uile chuid den tairiscint seo de chuid Pháirtí an Chomhaontais Ghlais. I support the Green Party's motion in its entirety as I regard it as presented in measured and reasonable terms. I find it interesting to note the Fine Gael Party, like the Government is not prepared to accept it in all its provisions. It is essential at this stage, following the G8 proposal to restrict debt cancellation to 18 countries, that the Government should openly reaffirm Ireland's policy of 100% debt cancellation for all heavily-indebted poorer countries.
