Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

As I said yesterday legislation for the Greek situation will be put before the House and all aspects of it can be debated then.

The whole idea behind the stabilisation fund was to provide a Community instrument quite apart from pooled bilateral loans. The special purpose vehicle being established in respect of the €440 billion contingency facility should it be required will probably require legislation, on which we are getting legal advice. This can also be brought to the House and debated.

We have indicated debates will take place when the reports are available.
