Campaigners who called for a 'No' vote in the EU fiscal treaty referendum are challenging the government to honour the promises it made before the vote.
Last night, Taoiseach Enda Kenny insisted he would use the result of the referendum to strengthen Ireland's hand in talks with other European leaders on the bank debt.
Socialist MEP Paul Murphy said that the Government also has a responsibility to provide stability, growth and investment.
"The Government and the Yes side promised stability, recovery, investment - I think it's important now that they argue for that on a European level," he said.
"We'll see whether the austerity treaty comes into being, it's not guaranteed to be ratified yet in the 12 eurozone member states, but I definitely think there's a need for a growth pact for massive public investment across Europe in order to get people back to work."
