Joe Higgins (Dublin West, Socialist Party)

Does the Taoiseach agree he has no control over those who will decide whether there is stability, namely, the financial markets? The Taoiseach signing a bit of paper committing our people to further austerity will not satisfy their thirst for more and more of the lifeblood of the resources of people in the form of profits if they fear their funds are at risk. The Taoiseach is making a fraudulent claim when he promises stability.
