Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

From that perspective, I look forward to the meeting tomorrow. I hope that what comes out of tomorrow's meeting will be the start of a series of decisions taken by the eurozone leaders which will restore confidence and certainty, and deal with the issue of the legitimate anxiety and concern about contagion spreading from the Greek situation which simply must be dealt with. That is the focus of discussions today. From that perspective, I will speak to all of the eurozone leaders tomorrow when I have that opportunity to remind them of how this country has measured up against the conditions and the terms of the EU-IMF loan repayment situation, which are quite austere and challenging. From that perspective, the conditions set out are being met and that is a demonstration that a country in bailout circumstances, such as Ireland is, can meet its targets. I want to see that countries like ours which are in this situation are seen and will be seen to receive support from the European leaders.
