Michael Noonan (Limerick City, Fine Gael)

No, no. The Deputy insists on misquoting me. It is a feature of Fianna Fáil's defence for its disgraceful period in Government that it misquotes the Opposition. Throughout the election campaign, the spring, in my remarks in the United States and right through to my remarks last week, I always said that Fine Gael in government would not act unilaterally to burn bondholders, guaranteed or unguaranteed.
