============================================================

Pearse Doherty (SF), Donegal

The Minister is not only finance Minister but he also has an important position in Europe as chair of the Eurogroup. Is it his view that France, Germany and Italy are abiding by the OECD agreement? Whatever the G7 does is separate. A global agreement has been reached and Europe is part of it. Have those countries now stepped outside that as a result of the agreement they entered into in the G7 or not? What is the Minister’s view? Has he spoken, maybe in his capacity as chair, to any of those finance ministers to ascertain their views on it? It appears as though they have done their own solo runs in the G7 and left Europe to deal with this issue now, and us too.
