"Mr President, I would like to welcome the Taoiseach and Minister Creighton to Parliament and I want to wish them, their ministers and their officials well as they work to deliver a Presidency focused on results, but the challenge is huge. In the 60 seconds I have at my disposal I will deal with one core issue only and that is the slipsliding and the backsliding by the Commission and the European Council to fully and finally break the toxic link between bank and sovereign debt.
Many speakers have spoken of Ireland’s recovery. Indeed Mr Barroso said that our deficit is slower than predicted but he did not say that, despite our very best efforts, our debt-to-GNP ratio will peak at 150 % this year, our youth unemployment is at 30 % and our greatest export still is our young people. If we do not get a deal on bank debt within the context of a European solution we cannot exit the bail-out this year and our economy will grind along the bottom. Mr Barroso has gone but he spoke of solidarity and fairness. I want to ask him to keep those commitments."@en1
