Joan Burton: When did the Minister become aware of the potential impact of these promissory notes on the general Government balance? When the Labour Party received its briefing in the Department of Finance, it was perfectly clear that the officials had not worked out what might be the implications of those notes. I have been trying to ascertain the position in this regard - through the tabling of...

Joan Burton: Has the Minister considered whether the further â¬9 billion worth of promissory notes should be issued at the very high market rates which obtain at present or whether another mechanism might be employed?

Joan Burton: Did the Minister not find it depressing or shameful that on Monday evening he was on national television giving a press conference in his Department with Commissioner Rehn?

It was an indication that our sovereignty as a country has, in...
