The Exiting the Crisis conference, 29th of June 2012, Dublin Ireland, which took place on the second day of the European Council summit of EU leaders, addressed key questions for Ireland and Europe, such as:

• Should Europe move towards a fiscal union and what are the political challenges for a roadmap for fiscal integration?

• How can the European budget and cooperative national budgetary policies contribute to the set up of a model of European solidarity? 

• How can the future of the Euro be secured and what is the future of central banking in Europe?

• How can the balance sheet problems in the European banking system be dealt with and do we need a banking union?

• How has Ireland responded to the crisis and how can this response be improved?

• What are the prospects for Ireland's recovery and what role does Europe have in this recovery?
