Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

The Taoiseach is not responsible for the collapse of the Czech Government but it will cause a serious problem. It seems there may well be a council of experts formed here. What is the Taoiseach's reaction to the fact that President Klaus may well be the person to speak on international issues for the people of the Czech Republic, given his Eurosceptic views? I acknowledge the Taoiseach can have no direct impact on this situation.

In view of the uncertainty caused by the collapse of the Czech Government, does the Taoiseach intend to indicate the proposed timing of the second referendum on the Lisbon treaty? I do not expect him to give an exact date but in my view it is important to remove the uncertainty.
