Promissory Notes Arrangement: Motion (Resumed) (13 Feb 2013)

Seán Crowe: I agree with Deputy Mary Lou McDonald on last Wednesday night's farce when nobody covered himself or herself in glory in the context of what went on in the House. I listened to Deputies who shouted and roared suggesting they had read the legislation, but just down the corridor it was in their pigeon holes. Perhaps, one well worn copy had done the rounds, but it seems unlikely that people...

European Council: Statements (13 Feb 2013)

Any independent analysis would show that the overall structure of the budget has been left untouched....
