Bond Repayments: Motion [Private Members] (26 Nov 2013)

Jim Daly: Cuirim fáilte roimh deis labhartha ar an ábhar seo. Having read the Private Members' motion I can inform the House that it is the first "Dear Santa" letter I have seen this Christmas. That is all it reminds me of. It is a complete fanciful fairytale. It begins something like "Dear someone, please write off €25 billion in money that we as a sovereign State owe to you".

It is ludicrous to aspire to default. Default as an aspiration makes no sense. Default...

Bond Repayments: Motion [Private Members] (26 Nov 2013)

Jim Daly: Dear Santa, how are you? I am sorry that the day ever came when it dawned on me that Santa did not exist, because I would love to send the motion off to him. The money system exists for better or worse. The fundamentals of any money system are that one borrows and one pays back. Those responsible for the motion think that we are in some dream land where we can subvert that system and...

Bond Repayments: Motion [Private Members] (26 Nov 2013)

Jim Daly: Let us consider Germany, which has been referred to by several speakers. The Germans are effectively the paymasters. Austerity is a necessary thing. Everyone must live within their means and that is what we, as a country, must do. The people in Germany are dictating that we must do that and rightly so if they are paying the tune. I mentioned previously that the Germans are the people...

Bond Repayments: Motion [Private Members] (26 Nov 2013)

Jim Daly: Most important, we can maintain our ability to borrow on the markets. The people putting forward this motion refuse to look at the day after tomorrow. They simply look at the short term or the quick gain. Who will pay the welfare bill, which is €20 billion as it stands in the country at the moment? Who will pay the education Bill? Who will pay those bills afterwards?
