Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

I am coming to that. He promised to put interest payments on the agenda at the EU summit and then he backed down and took it off. He came here and boasted that such was his initiative. Now we are being told through the media that there will be a revised memorandum of understanding published on Friday. There is no doubt in my mind that this will contain more cuts and austerity.

The Taoiseach inherited an economic crisis created by the previous Government, but Fianna Fáil is not in government now. The Taoiseach is in government. He is making the political choices. With respect, he is making the wrong political choices.
