- European Council: Statements (Resumed) (7 Mar 2012)
Shane Ross: I wish to share time with Deputies Clare Daly, Richard Boyd Barrett and Mick Wallace.
- European Council: Statements (Resumed) (7 Mar 2012)
Shane Ross: I thank the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste for making time available for us to debate the outcome of the summit. While I was interested in what the Taoiseach had to say, he did not mention the elephant in the room which must have been hanging over him at the summit, namely, the Anglo Irish Bank promissory notes which were conspicuous by their absence. The report from Brussels mentions at...
- European Council: Statements (Resumed) (7 Mar 2012)
Shane Ross: Like any sensible person, I will study the terms attached to any deal. The Government must first acknowledge that the two issues are related, following which it will be better able to sell the treaty in a referendum. There is a direct relationship between the two issues, just as there is a direct relationship between the public sector cuts made and any relief the Government might receive on...
- European Council: Statements (Resumed) (7 Mar 2012)
Shane Ross: I will finish on this point. The Taoiseach went on to say that if we were to sign the treaty, investors and lenders would have increased confidence in doing business in Ireland. I suggest he is conceding that there will be a second bailout, as was made absolutely clear by Moody's and other objective commentators in the past few days. We are preparing for a second bailout, but the...
- European Council: Statements (Resumed) (7 Mar 2012)
Shane Ross: I will be very brief. Has the Government conceded the point that it is almost inevitable there will be a second bailout? It is quite simple and Moody's and others have expressed that view in an authoritative fashion. There is a desperate cling to the need for ESM funds as a reason for the treaty so has the Government conceded the point that a second bailout is coming, one way or the other?...
- Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2012)
Shane Ross: I understand, from his replies to Deputy Martin, that there are many reasons the Taoiseach feels he cannot give us a date for the referendum. However, it seems to me to be more than coincidental that we are not getting a date either for the referendum or for the solution the Government is going to find on the Anglo Irish Bank promissory notes. It would be fair to draw a conclusion that one...
- Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2012)
Shane Ross: The Taoiseach may be surprised. One would never know.
- Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2012)
Shane Ross: I will respond to something the Taoiseach stated, which is important. He stated that the Minister who is sitting beside him stated he had hoped it would be done by 31 March. Can I quote from the article?
- Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2012)
Shane Ross: It states, "Minister Pat Rabbitte said that some sort of restructure will be agreed with the country's bailout lenders before the next annual repayment of the IOUs falls due next month." There is nothing wrong with him saying that, it if is true.
- Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2012)
Shane Ross: If it is being diluted, that is fine. There is nothing wrong, by the way, with linking the Anglo Irish Bank promissory notes and a deal. My guess is-----
- Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2012)
Shane Ross: Yes, of course. My guess is that the Taoiseach will surprise himself how quickly-----
- Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2012)
Shane Ross: -----he will be able to come to the conclusion that it is time for a referendum when he announces, before 31 March, that the Anglo Irish Bank promissory deal is done. I would suspect the Taoiseach will surprise everybody in this House with the speed with which the Cabinet suddenly will be able to come to that conclusion. Finally, can I ask the Taoiseach a question? The Taoiseach stated...
- Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2012)
Shane Ross: Will we be then in a very awkward situation where we must hold a second referendum when we have already held one?
- Leaders' Questions (1 Mar 2012)
Shane Ross: I now understand why the Tánaiste did not make the Minister for Social Protection the Minister for Finance because she said in an interview today with the Financial Times that the European Union should cut the cost of Ireland's bailout to help it pass the eurozone fiscal pact in a high stakes referendum. If that is not linking one with the other, I do not know what is. She went on to...
