I thank the Tánaiste for setting out the rationale for the views expressed so strongly by the European Council President but my question was about our response to it. If that is the mindset of Europe, does the Tánaiste agree that Europe has to put its economy on a war footing? What would that mean for our country? What does the Tánaiste think the contribution of the Government will be to those discussions today and tomorrow?
