Michael McGrath (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

I agree with the Minister that it is about arguing based on the facts and it is also about having a clear and consistent message because we need to know where we stand. Based on what the Minister stated today which is contrary to what was stated last week, which was that we were funded through to the end of 2013 and into early 2014, which clearly is not the case, and based on any reasonable analysis of the facts, does the Minister accept we will need to know where we stand in the early part of 2013 on the funding of the day-to-day running of the State?
