Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

I have a slightly sharper point to make. It is the mark of this Government not to have a full debate. We raised this issue of a debate on the euro crisis at least twice, perhaps three times, before the Taoiseach conceded it should be allowed. Given the news that came overnight about Italian bonds, does the Government's original budget target of €3.6 billion to be taken out of the economy in December still stand?
