Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

There is no point in talking about what might happen after 2015. The problem Sinn Féin would land us in would present itself at the end of next year, when we would arrive at a point where, because Deputy Doherty's leader says we should tell the IMF to go home and take its money with it, we would no longer get money from the IMF. He said we should default on our debt such that we would not get back into the markets. One week he said he wanted to veto the ESM and the next that he wanted to borrow money from it.
