"Madam President, as a Member for Ireland, I cannot say that I am too proud of what is currently happening in my own country. However, I am sure that most of our citizens want to do whatever needs doing in order to make things right.
And to put things right in Ireland, two things are necessary. Firstly, unfortunately we have had to turn to the support from the ECB and the IMF in the short term. Secondly, and more importantly, the supervisory architecture of the authorities in Europe needs to work effectively so that the cosy relationship between dodgy banks, sleepy regulators and weak governments does not happen again in the future. Thirdly, I just want to ask people to lay off a little with regard to corporation tax because, firstly, it is a matter of subsidiarity; secondly, other countries in the EU have similar rates; and thirdly, it would exacerbate a very difficult situation in Ireland at the moment.
So, I know that the people of Ireland are eager to get on with the job and that things will improve in due course."@en1
