Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Progressive Democrats)

My time is limited. As Ed Murrow, the US journalist said, do not confuse slogans with solutions. The Opposition is strong on slogans, but very poor on solutions. For the remainder of our mandate, we will focus on solutions. Many of the challenges society faces are challenges that come from success. The Government, with its coherent vision for the future and its coherent economic policy, elements fundamental to the success of any Government, will focus on providing the solutions the people are entitled to expect of their Government.
