Mick Wallace (Wexford, Independent)

Does the Minister agree the goal posts have moved slightly in Europe over the past while, particularly as the Italians, who owe €1.9 trillion, have come into the equation? I built out there for years and remember going into a hardware store that turned over €50 million per year. The first question I was asked was if I wanted to pay VAT or if I wanted an invoice. Does the Minister believe that no unsecured bondholders will be unpaid in the next two years?
