I ask the Taoiseach to comment on it and respond to what Deputy Mary Lou McDonald said and tell us if he agrees with the farcical statement from the Department of Finance that it welcomes the statement made elsewhere in Europe. That is utter nonsense and if it is the case, someone should be fired from the Department immediately. This is the most damaging statement on Ireland to come from the European Union in living memory.
