- Leaders' Questions (31 Jan 2012)
Micheál Martin: Now that the intergovernmental treaty has been finalised, will the Taoiseach ensure, as an urgent decision, that the public can be properly informed about the treaty by publishing an explanatory guide to it? The people have not been kept informed adequately of the content of the treaty, what it is about or its objectives. Essentially, the people have been kept in the dark for far too long...
- Leaders' Questions (31 Jan 2012)
Micheál Martin: I put it to the Taoiseach that he has neglected the public dimension to this debate and to the preparations leading up to the treaty to an alarming degree.
