Cuirim fáilte roimh deis labhartha ar an ábhar seo. Having read the Private Members' motion I can inform the House that it is the first "Dear Santa" letter I have seen this Christmas. That is all it reminds me of. It is a complete fanciful fairytale. It begins something like "Dear someone, please write off €25 billion in money that we as a sovereign State owe to you".
