Perhaps we should speak to the pigeon keeper and ask him to make sure that a robust pigeon is sent out. On the question of sanity raised by Deputy McDonald and the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council, IFAC, it might be no harm if someone was tasked with the job of costing more serious policy matters that will be put before the electorate over the coming months. It would make perfect sense for some State agency or organisation to be put in charge and to outline the costs of the bigger proposals being put forward by every political party and none so that someone has a handle on what people are getting involved in.
