Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

The position is that our intention is to be back in the markets, and to do that we must continue the investment.

That continued investment is dependent on there being a stable euro, which is the reason it is necessary for us to ratify this treaty. Deputy Pringle said he does not believe we will get back into the markets. If we do not get back into the markets and if it turns out that a second bailout will be necessary, where will we get the money?
