Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

We want job creation to continue. If it is to do so, investors must have confidence in this country and be confident that there are no doubts concerning our relationship with the euro. They must also have confidence in the euro itself. The treaty is about stability in the euro, investor confidence and providing access to emergency funding if necessary. It is in the best interests of this country and our people. It is for Ireland as a sovereign state and our people individually and independently to make a decision on 31 May.
