In the House of Commons yesterday the British Prime Minister, Mr. David Cameron, was asked if the British Government had a contingency plan should the euro collapse. He specifically answered "Yes." I am asking the Taoiseach to do likewise. For understandable reasons, he would not want to reveal the plans, but the people would like to know if the Government has plans in place should this catastrophe happen. It is not necessarily likely to happen, but it is a real possibility. Will the Taoiseach assure the House that, in the event of a collapse of the euro, there are plans in place in the Department of Finance, the Central Bank and all Departments of State to deal with such a situation?
