Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

I do and will respond at that stage.

The Government attaches great importance to this crucial report, the findings of which dovetail so well with our ongoing work at European level. I am thinking, in particular, of the issues it highlights as being of most concern to the people: taxation, socio-ethical issues, foreign and defence policy, and Ireland's influence in the European Union. It will help us to position the nation's perspective in the coming days and the weeks and months ahead.
