- Order of Business. (21 Sep 2011)
Micheál Martin: Last week, I called for a debate in the House on the eurozone summit that took place in July, particularly in light of the changing circumstances in Europe. I would not treat the comments of the IMF lightly. The IMF has made a significant statement about the need for Europe to get its act together. The situation with regard to the Greek debt has not yet been resolved. There are huge...
