Peadar Tóibín: Ba mhaith liom buíochas a ghabháil leis an Teachta Mary Lou McDonald for the overview of the austerity treaty. We are told the treaty is about being at the heart of the European Union, yet it is not an EU treaty. We are told it is about preventing the recurrence of the economic catastrophe that is engulfing the eurozone because it will enforce rules previously adhered to by countries such...

Peadar Tóibín: People are asking whether this approach will work. The austerity treaty will not fix the economy or solve the private debt issue. On the contrary, it will make the problem worse because the policy inherent in it has already resulted in a double dip recession in Europe. The current European recession bodes ill for the Irish economy given the Government's decision to put all its eggs in one...

Banks Recapitalisation (18 Apr 2012)

Peadar Tóibín: The first question is to put the issue on the record. The second question is that the most immediate consequence of the smoke and mirrors element to this is that there will be a cost to the State of €90 million this year.

EU-IMF Agreement (18 Apr 2012)

Peadar Tóibín: Many were disappointed to hear over the past couple of days that there was a break with the practice of the troika meeting with Opposition parties. It was a situation where Opposition parties had an opportunity to represent their constituents to the troika, and also to find out if the troika and the Government were on message or was there a deviation between the message that both separate...
