Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

My views are on record. I do not believe radical treaty change is needed. The vast majority of what one needs to do in terms of governance and fiscal discipline is already in the agreements and flexibilities that have been approved. While I intend to make this point clearly, I also have very strong views about the Single Market and the potential for further exports and business within the European Union. As Deputy Martin knows, big business in the Far East and United States does not talk to the extent it should about the potential of Europe because Europe has strangled itself to a great extent. We need to free up this matter. I recognise the Deputy's views on the issue are always important. At least he and I can agree on the importance of the eurozone, European Union and euro, unlike Sinn Féin which takes a radically different view.
