Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

Will the Tánaiste confirm for me that Labour's way, regardless of what was said during the election, means that it intends paying this bad banking debt, that it will replace this bad banking debt with an increased sovereign debt, that its deal increases the State's sovereign debt and that it intends paying a higher interest on the €3.1 billion? Will the Tánaiste please answer this question? I urge him not to go off on flights of fancy but to answer the question put to him.
