The Progressive Democrats have participated in the formation of nine budgets in three different Governments. That is not a bad record for a party which came into being only in the last month of 1985. In fact, we have participated in the drafting of nine of the last 14 budgets. To put that achievement in context, the Labour Party has been involved in five of those 14, while Fine Gael has been involved in just three budgets. The voters have given us the opportunity to bring our distinctive view to bear on the economic management of the country.
