Paschal Donohoe (Fine Gael)

Bearing in mind that this is a mess for which the Government is responsible, it is appalling for a Government party member to say to the people that if they do not do what it is needed, the Government will bring in the IMF. I asked the Leader to do this previously and I am asking him again. He should stand up and say this is not acceptable. Fianna Fáil is in government and it is its job to govern the country. It is not acceptable for Government party members to stand up and say it is an acceptable course of action to call in the International Monetary Fund to pull the country from the mess into which the Government got us and from which it is not capable of pulling us.
