The Minister rightly pointed out that he...

EU Affairs (27 Sep 2011)

Enda Kenny: That problem has been dealt with and Deputy Martin and his colleagues should move on and deal with the crisis.

Enda Kenny: Of course there is a discussion about these things and that is why, in part, ECOFIN ministers have been meeting regularly over the summer. It is also a fact that, as the situation evolves and changes rapidly here, at the end of the day politicians will have to make decisions in respect of their governments and collectively within the eurozone and the European Union. That is why each...

Enda Kenny: The Lisbon treaty set out its conditions clearly and they have been adopted by all the countries. The europack-plus and the six-pack are voluntary commitments involving voluntary co-operation. Participation is a matter for each individual country.

Enda Kenny: The Minister for Finance spoke to Mr. Trichet on a number of occasions at recent meetings. I always speak to him when the EU Heads of Government meet.

He went off to meet him specially and had a serious discussion with him, as well as with Commissioner Rehn. Obviously, when the new ECB president is appointed, we will arrange to meet with him.
