Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I can confirm that is not the case. Deputy Martin's question relates to clarification given by EU leaders at the European Council in June. In making the case in respect of reporting the progress being made by this country, European leaders were cognisant of the fact that countries in a programme which are measuring up to the conditions of that programme should be protected. The Council was not going to make decisions about that because decisions were being taken in respect of the response to the Greek crisis.

The situation Deputy Martin described as being "reported generally" is not accurate.
