Dara Calleary

Question:

255. Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Finance the way he will pursue his support for a European debt conference; if he will raise the issue at EU Finance Ministers Council; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2857/15]

Written answers

Minister for Finance

The question assumes my support for a European debt conference. This does not represent my position.  My view is that when countries have difficulties, a process of negotiation is always better than one of conflict.
