I move:

“That Dáil Éireann notes:— that the financial crisis highlighted the deviation from the founding principles and values of the European Union (EU) such as solidarity and mutual respect amongst nations;

— the unsustainability of the debt burden imposed on Ireland and other European countries;

— that the debt burden is an obstacle to economic and social development;

— that Ireland was a casualty of timing which allowed for private banking debts to be socialised, thus sacrificing the social and economic interests of Irish citizens; and

— that there is an urgent need to recapture the founding principle of solidarity and work towards a co-operative effort to promote sustainable growth and job creation across the EU; and

calls on the Government to:

— support calls for a European Debt Conference in order to agree a common solution with our Eurozone partners; and

— work constructively at European Council level and with all relevant EU institutions towards establishing a European Debt Conference.”

I think the Acting Chairman has a list of those I am sharing time with.
