Did the Taoiseach ask her the one question on the lips of the nation, that is, whether legacy debt could be written off and whether the banks could be recapitalised? I am referring to the Irish banks that got into trouble before the night of the guarantee. If the Taoiseach did not ask her that question, he was simply agreeing with her to produce a temporary solution to get him over the next crisis. If the Taoiseach had the opportunity of chewing the ear off the German Chancellor, he should have taken it.
