Proceeding contribution from Lord Martin of Springburn (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 22 November 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Ireland: Financial Assistance.
Ireland: Financial Assistance
My Lords, I welcome the help that is being given to Ireland. I am mindful of the fact that, in the city where I was raised, many sons and daughters of Ireland came to be our teachers, to look after our elderly and to be our doctors. Many of the large construction projects, such as the hydro dams, were built by Irishmen who worked so hard and were away from home. The Minister said that the interest rates will be worked out, but for every point on the interest rates there will be more hardship for the people of Ireland. When the Chancellor announces the interest rates, will this House and the other place have a say in them?
