Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein)

Guten morgan, Angela. Auf wiedersehen, Enda pet. Given the gravity of the situation, which the Tánaiste acknowledged, it is completely unacceptable that he cannot give a clearcut answer to the Dáil. The Tánaiste should understand the problem. The Taoiseach has repeatedly told us he is not seeking any write-down of debt. He said that very clearly. Why can the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste not set out precisely what they are seeking in the same clearcut language? It strikes me that they are fudging the issue and that they sold the people a pig in a poke. They promised a lot in the course of their "Yes" campaign.
