Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

That is the solution and action in respect of it must be taken now. The implications of the Van Rompuy paper and its contents will be discussed at the European Council meeting. From my point of view, this is a matter of real concern for Ireland, for every other eurozone member and for other countries, such as the United States, which invest in the eurozone. The latter is obviously extremely concerned in respect of this matter. The political leadership within the eurozone will be obliged to deal with this matter on 9 December. I have very clear views on what needs to be done politically and I will not be afraid to express them on behalf of this country when I attend the Council meeting.
