Fidelma Healy Eames (Fine Gael)

I have listened to the contributions of other Members and agree that there is a need for calm. The only relevant question now is: what is in the best interests of the country and its people? Yesterday's announcement by the Green Party and subsequently the Taoiseach drove people across the country crazy. Yesterday in Galway I met families, farmers and people with disabilities who expressed deep concern that they were going to lose out again in the midst of the turmoil. One of the most basic questions was whether there would be money in ATM machines at Christmas. In this regard, it is important we note what Senator Ross said. The bailout is contingent on getting the budget through.
