Michael Noonan (Limerick City, Fine Gael)

There is no silver bullet that will resolve everything but they are a series of actions which taken together or in sequence can help to underpin the euro. Much of the work is already underway. The treaty is very important as a foundation stone and also the corrective action being taken in many European countries is very important. However, I also believe the change of emphasis in the debate now to have a programme of sustainable growth across Europe, is also very important. Taken all together and if we keep driving forward, I believe matters will stabilise. However, we all know there are extreme difficulties at present.
