Joe Costello (Dublin Central, Labour)

The concern is that next week the whole thing could unravel. Then, because of the lack of detailed attention and management of the issues, we could be back where we were 12 months ago. It was largely because of mismanagement we were in the position we were in then. Perhaps the Taoiseach will give us a full statement in the House, prior to going to next week's summit, so that we have some idea of what is going on and can give him the benefit of our views on the matter.
