Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2012)

Shane Ross: -----he will be able to come to the conclusion that it is time for a referendum when he announces, before 31 March, that the Anglo Irish Bank promissory deal is done. I would suspect the Taoiseach will surprise everybody in this House with the speed with which the Cabinet suddenly will be able to come to that conclusion. Finally, can I ask the Taoiseach a question? The Taoiseach stated...

Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2012)

European Council: Statements (Resumed) (7 Mar 2012)

Shane Ross: I thank the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste for making time available for us to debate the outcome of the summit.

The report from Brussels mentions at...

Shane Ross: I will finish on this point. The Taoiseach went on to say that if we were to sign the treaty, investors and lenders would have increased confidence in doing business in Ireland. I suggest he is conceding that there will be a second bailout, as was made absolutely clear by Moody's and other objective commentators in the past few days. We are preparing for a second bailout, but the...

European Council: Statements (Resumed) (7 Mar 2012)

Shane Ross: I will be very brief. Has the Government conceded the point that it is almost inevitable there will be a second bailout? It is quite simple and Moody's and others have expressed that view in an authoritative fashion. There is a desperate cling to the need for ESM funds as a reason for the treaty so has the Government conceded the point that a second bailout is coming, one way or the other?...
