Without doubt, the Government supported and welcomed the initial Cypriot deal, which was rejected subsequently by the parliament in Cyprus. That was entirely reprehensible and I would like an explanation for it. There is no point in being rhetorical about solidarity when the Government was on board for the taking of money from bank deposits.

At the last discussion in the House before the summit, the Taoiseach gave me a firm commitment that he would raise there the Jerusalem report. The Jerusalem report indicts the Israeli Government, particularly, though not exclusively, for its settlement policy. The Taoiseach did not mention it in his remarks. I asked him the question while he was still in the Chamber but he did not respond. I ask the Tánaiste now if the Taoiseach, in keeping with the commitment he gave in the House, raised the Jerusalem report at the summit.
