-----in once again contributing to Trapattoni's fee to ensure he would stay on. I also compliment the FAI on the decision it has taken not to change the strip in advance of the Euro 2012 finals next summer, which will mean a considerable saving to parents who would have been in dread of shelling out more money for a new strip considering all of the budgetary measures that will be imposed on them.

I propose an amendment to the Order of Business, that the Minister of State with responsibility for European Affairs would come to the House today to issue a clarifying statement on the evolving euro crisis.
