Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

Chancellor Merkel and President Sarkozy have announced proposals for radical changes to the European treaties. The Taoiseach was asked a question about that earlier and he almost feigned ignorance of it. The world and its mother know they did that. It is a dangerous trend that both Germany and France think that what they now say on future treaties goes, without challenge. I ask the Taoiseach to comment on that.
