lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I would like to wish the Taoiseach and Minister Creighton well in the difficult steering role that awaits them in the semester ahead. Taoiseach and Minister Creighton, I was encouraged to hear both your statements last week when the College of EU Commissioners visited Ireland and your remarks today. Your emphasis on the need for solidarity and fairness within the EU as a whole and your commitment to prioritise growth and job creation echoes what I and my Social-Democratic colleagues, among other MEPs, have been calling for in this House since the crisis hit the continent in 2008. Likewise, you understand the need for separation of the banking debt and the public purse for the sake of economic recovery and a return to employment and prospects for a decent future for our youth. We agree that; however the logical corollary is simple, Member States stepped in to avert financial collapse and found ourselves engulfed in debt as a consequence. I think the self-defeating austerity-led response has mistaken causes and consequences. Our fellow countrymen are certainly among those who feel the brunt of it. So I would appeal to you to take the experience that we have gained to the Council of Ministers and try to come up with a new approach that can give us a chance in the common interests of all EU citizens. I wish you very well, Taoiseach."@en1
