Leaders' Questions (13 Jun 2012)

Mary Lou McDonald: I am glad the boys have simmered down. This morning we have a tale of two reports. On the one hand there is the troika's sixth review of Ireland's bailout programme, which has yet again been given to parliamentarians in the Bundestag and leaked to the media before Members of this Dáil or the public in this State have had any sight of it.

Leaders' Questions (13 Jun 2012)

Mary Lou McDonald: I take it from the Taoiseach's comments that he continues to have full confidence in the ESRI, its independence and its capacity to give thought-provoking and useful information to policy makers.
