Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

Will the Taoiseach not accept that the alternative is that we should not be paying this bank bailout debt and that, if it is the case that the Sinn Féin propositions fall in any way short in terms of current spending, we would be infinitely better off going to the open market and paying additional percentages for a much smaller sum of money, thus retaining our control, self determination and sovereignty in relation to our economic future? What the Taoiseach is proposing to do will strap our people into horrendous circumstances for many years into the future.
