I would rather Ireland's position in five or ten years time when the IMF has gone rather than be like Greece where the IMF may be there for 20 or 30 years and Greece will face severe austerity in the meantime. We may have difficult times ahead. I am in business and I know how difficult it has been and I know that businesses and families are suffering but when we get our financial sovereignty back that will be a good day. It was given away, whether we like it or not, by a previous Government. I will not go back to that past-----
