- European Council: Statements (2 Nov 2011)
Micheál Martin: There is arrogance all of the time. This is why people are fed up. The Government can contort and twist. There is no limit to the contortions the Government can make.

Micheál Martin: On 3 November, the new President of the European Central Bank, Mr. Mario Draghi, announced a cut in the bank's main policy rate from 1.5% to 1.25%.

- Leaders' Questions (8 Nov 2011)
Micheál Martin: I am extremely surprised the Taoiseach has no legislation prepared and that, clearly, no work has been undertaken in recent weeks or months to prepare such legislation.
