Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The places to make arrangements for negotiations on debt and structural changes are the ECOFIN meetings, European meetings with various Councils and the European Council. Ireland has proven to be remarkably successful to date, and we intend to continue that. We understand the scale of the challenges facing the people of Greece, such as the unemployment rate of 25%, which is as high as 50% among young people, and the enormous scale of its debt. I wish the Prime Minister and his new Cabinet well. They face daunting challenges and there is no doubt they will engage - constructively, it is to be hoped - with the European authorities in the days and weeks ahead.
