Susan O'Keeffe (Labour)

I thank the Tánaiste for coming to the House. I commend him on his continued support for Palestine. I ask and hope that he would reiterate his condemnation in December of the human rights oppression in Syria. I commend him also on his rebuilding of Ireland's support and image in the world and for managing to avoid the use of the words "green" and "jersey". The Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy Coveney, is hell bent in trade terms to ensure the Chinese Government's desire to give every child a daily glass of milk will be of benefit to Ireland. In the Tánaiste's view, how stable is the EU fiscal situation?
