Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I thank the Taoiseach for his reply. Can I ask him to confirm that Ireland, despite what some commentators have said in the recent past, has no intention of leaving the euro? Can he clarify whether the European Commission has suggested that the winding down of Anglo Irish Bank over a 20-year period should be contemplated or considered by the Government? Has there been any contact from the European Commission in that regard? In view of the comments of Commissioner Rehn, has there been any contact with the Government to the effect that further spending cuts should be imposed this year?
