I am glad Deputy Martin supports the call for a "Yes" vote in respect of parliamentary inquires being available to those elected by the people and who are accountable to the people, unlike in lots...

Order of Business (26 Oct 2011)

Enda Kenny: The fundamental questions we are being asked to decide on Sunday are the question of Greece being let down, whether there is sufficient moneys in the €109 billion approved originally, how we leverage that under the European Financial Stability Facility and the facilities to do that and how one proceeds with governance. These are serious issues which will potentially have a serious impact...

Enda Kenny: I thank the Deputies. Good progress was also made on restoring confidence on Europe's banks through enhancing the quality and quantity of capital available to them and through ensuring their medium term funding so as to safeguard the flow of credit to the real economy.
