Olivia Mitchell (Dublin South, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am not sure it is implicit because we have had resolutions of the Dáil that were nodded through without debate. It is important, therefore, to insert a provision in the legislation that there would have to be a debate.

Overall, however, I completely support the Bill's import. I believe in the mutual solidarity of our membership of the EU and of the euro. We have received international funds to help pay for key services such as health and education, and we would want to support at least some of those services for the citizens of Greece. Even if we were to be brutally self-interested, a stable Europe and a stable euro is in all our interests. That is achieved by passing this Bill.
