That goes to my next point. There is a new bailout for Greece, which is only right and proper. No one wants to see Greek society descend into chaos. We want to see the banks open and people being able to withdraw more than €60 a day if they have it. We want to see an end to the crisis but we are entitled, as a Parliament within the EU, to discuss it. Ireland will, I am sure, be asked to contribute to a further bailout. It will be well over €1 billion and perhaps closer to €2 billion. Rightly, we contributed €350 million to one of the previous bailouts. While I have no problem with that solidarity, we need to know what the Government is saying and what its position is. I am insisting that the Minister of State, Deputy Dara Murphy, come to the House.
