Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

The question of particular issues that surround this fund and the implications for Ireland and other countries is not for this Government to decide on its own. As I speak, officials from the Departments of the Taoiseach, Finance and Foreign Affairs and Trade are in contact with their counterparts throughout Europe. The Deputy is aware of the way these things are structured and the way the preparations go for meetings of Heads of Government and for EU Council meetings in general. This work is going on now.
