- Diplomatic Representation (9 Feb 2012)
Kathleen Lynch: As a Deputy who has more prolonged experience of coalition government, Deputy à FearghaÃl understands that when there are two parties in government Ministers do not always tic tac with one another when decisions are made in their Departments.
