Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I am sorry. There is a proposal about which the Minister has been speaking, but I cannot give the time or date for it. As regards the issues that have arisen, every effort is being made by the Minister for Finance, Deputy Brian Lenihan, to ensure that the Irish case is understood and to ensure that there is a lot of support for Ireland in respect of everything it has done to date. It is in our interests that market conditions normalise regarding this situation. Anything we can do therefore to facilitate a stabilisation of that situation within the euro area is something to which we are all attuned at the moment.
