Macroeconomic and Fiscal Outlook: Statements (Resumed)
3:00 am
Joan Burton (Dublin West, Labour)
Okay.
This morning a Deputy referred to our country as a banana republic. While this country needs much reform, it is not a banana republic; it is a democracy. My party is willing to go into Government to sort out the ills that have beset the country. This is not some African country; it is a mature democracy and a member of the European Union.
