All I am asking is that the Government would up its game a little more because the sands are shifting in Europe as we speak. If one reads any of the newspapers and any of the economic commentaries over the past week on the fiscal treaty, there are various changes taking place in Europe with various governments in various countries and an attitude across Europe of anti-austerity sentiment. If that will be translated into the Irish electorate, voters will say to themselves that they do not really fully understand this treaty because the Government has not really outlined it. In fairness to the Government, we all agree it is not quite as simple and straightforward as has been teased out in debate here. All I am saying is that I would welcome the Leader ensuring that there would be ongoing and regular updates on the campaign on the fiscal treaty. This House should continue to highlight the positives in that regard. We have an obligation to do so.
