Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

Deputy Mary Lou McDonald is correct: I have been consistent on this issue, as have the Taoiseach and the Government. Since its formation, it stated it would proceed to renegotiate the terms of the bailout arrangements which it considers to be too onerous on the taxpayer. It has been consistent in this regard. The Minister for Finance has brought the House up to date on the progress made on the issue. The Deputy has also been consistent, but she has been consistently wrong.
