Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

On behalf of my party, I call on the Taoiseach and the Government to reflect on the anger and frustration of Members on the opposite side of the House. We forced the Dáil to come back this week to discuss these issues. I do not intend to leave the Chamber, because my role is to stay and to pursue these issues with the Taoiseach. In the context of the debate on the European summit, I ask the Taoiseach to be available to answer specific questions that arise from the summit and the issue of repaying bondholders, in respect of which he gave a commitment to the electorate. People are frustrated and angry at the contrast between the words emanating from the Taoiseach in the past and the actions he has executed in regard to this issue.
