- Leaders' Questions (13 Feb 2013)
Enda Kenny: The Deputy will appreciate that the scale of the devastation his Government left behind meant that teams from the Central Bank and the Department of Finance had to spend the last 15 months dealing with the European Central Bank before last week's very welcome agreement could be reached.
