Arthur Morgan (Louth, Sinn Fein)

This is yet another bailout of the bankers. As we opposed Ireland's bailout of bankers and international bond holders, we are being consistent in opposing the bailout in this instance. We would have no problem with helping our Greek neighbours in their moment of need but that is not being asked of us. We are being asked to bail out the bankers while the working people of Greece are being made to repay the money. We do not accept that proposition and we completely oppose this Bill.
