Order of Business

Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)
Will the Taoiseach clarify something for me? I understand Mr. Peter Bonde, a eurosceptic MEP, stated on national radio this morning that a deal had been done and announced to French MEPs on what would be concluded in respect of Ireland when the Taoiseach attends the summit today and tomorrow. I do not expect this is the case and the Minister for Foreign Affairs stated on radio that this was not true. What is the position? In respect of this matter, I assume whatever arrangements the Taoiseach makes with his counterparts will not be concluded until the summit has concluded.
Does the Minister for Finance intend to bring before the House next week a scheme for recapitalisation of the banks so that access to credit can be available to small businesses and credit can flow for people to do their business?
