Irish debt deal with Greece

Summary

Senator Daly seeks a debate on why Ireland is not pursuing a Greek-style debt deal, while the Chair ends his contribution after he moves beyond the report-leak issue and exceeds his time.

Regarding the deal Greece secured, I ask the Leader to organise a debate on why Ireland is not seeking such a deal. The Minister of State with responsibility for European affairs came to this House and said Ireland has no position when it comes to seeking a deal.

As Senator Daly is over time and has moved on to a second item, I call the next speaker.

I ask the Leader to organise a debate on Ireland seeking a deal on the debt write down because the Government seems to have no position on it.
