European Financial Stability Facility and Euro Area Loan Facility (Amendment) Bill 2011: Second Stage (Resumed) (21 Sep 2011)

Arthur Spring: As a person who advocated against Ireland joining the euro at the time on many fronts such as our autonomy over interest rates and our ability to print money, it is surreal to be here today.

Developments in the Eurozone: Statements (Resumed) (2 Nov 2011)

Arthur Spring: The eurozone is in a crisis that is without parallel since the end of the Second World War. Jean-Claude Trichet put the matter aptly when he described the crisis as the most significant on the Continent in more than 70 years.

Social Welfare Benefits: Motion (Resumed) (30 Nov 2011)

Arthur Spring: I agree with the sentiments of the motion but it would be remiss of me not to deal with the issue of the eurozone. Two months ago, Jean-Claude Trichet said we were facing into the gravest time facing the continent since the Second World War.
