Joan Burton (Dublin West, Labour)

What negotiations is the Minister undertaking to prevent Ireland from been killed in the same fashion? Second, can the Minister confirm that the four-year plan to be published tomorrow will in effect be the letter of intent? The letter of intent is the formal application by the Government and it precedes the memorandum of understanding. Can the Minister state whether the four-year plan to be published tomorrow forms the basis or the entirety of the letter of intent to be forwarded to the three different parties that will be offering advances to Ireland?
