Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

These policies have had the same effect in Greece, increasing their debt. The debt has increased here. The banking debt is unsustainable. Does the Taoiseach believe that rolling out these policies will lead to different results and to increasing the burden on ordinary people?

Would the Taoiseach not be better off making this point clear to people at the EU?
