Eamon Gilmore: When the new memorandum of understanding is made available and when the announcement on the troika's review of our programme is made, Deputy McDonald will find that she has been wrong once again.
- Leaders' Questions (26 Apr 2012)
Eamon Gilmore: As Deputy McDonald stated, the troika's review will make it clear that progress has been made. I expect that the review will directly address the issue of growth and its necessity for the economy.
