European Stability Mechanism Bill 2012: Committee and Remaining Stages
1:00 pm
David Cullinane (Sinn Fein)
That is what I am talking about: whether we are on the right road, if the policies will work, if the ESM will work and if it will be a firewall. I do not believe it will be. I will finish on this point. Every single time Europe presents a solution, we end up with a new crisis. This week's summit is another crisis summit. I am sure there will be discussion of more steps that must be taken because we are not dealing with the real problems and putting forward the real solutions. Sticking plaster, or should I say "stickie" plaster, solutions – the Minister of State should pardon the pun given his partners in Government – will not solve the problems.
