Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

I was fully briefed by the Tánaiste, Deputy Gilmore, on the details of this treaty. We are quite familiar with it. I would like the Taoiseach, Deputy Enda Kenny, to come to the House to explain why he signed the treaty and why there was not a better deal for this country.

I agree with Senator Norris on the audience the Taoiseach had in Davos in Switzerland. He should have told them that they went mad lending us such money at those percentages at that time.
