Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Part of that process involves getting the eurozone leaders to deal with Europe's problem, which has clear implications for Ireland, this Thursday. I do not want to go into the details of the matters that are being commented on publicly. I refer to the question of what might be decided during Thursday's meeting. As Deputy Martin is aware, questions of flexibility, pricing and maturity dates are relevant and important. Far be it from me to pronounce, on behalf of one of the eurozone countries, what the outcome of the decision-making process might be. I assure the House that we are very interested - more than interested - in ensuring that the decision which was originally made is adhered to. If a more comprehensive solution is put on the table, we will discuss that comprehensively and support it in the interests of our people who were deprived of their economic sovereignty for the first time in 90 years by the previous Government.
