It undoubtedly is true that the present situation facing the country is very serious. On one level, all Members should offer whatever support they can to the Minister for Finance in the two meetings that are taking place in Brussels today, namely, the euro group meeting and the ECOFIN Ministers' meeting. The country has been coming under enormous pressure that has been fuelled by international press reports coming from sources that I do not believe have this country's interests at heart.
