Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

My point is that Europe has now got to put in place measures which will show that confidence can be had by the markets in countries as a consequence of the decisions that can be taken by Europe itself, as distinct from private investment or private involvement from that point of view.

Deputy Ross wants the Dáil to continue right through the summer. I remind him there was no break after the Government was formed, after Easter or after St. Patrick's Day. This has been one of the longest sessions of the Dáil directly after an election for many years. Obviously, Members will have an opportunity to discuss these matters, but not by Dáil session because I do not intend to bring it back next week.
