Finance and Related Matters: Statements.
Senator Mansergh referred to the differences between Fine Gael and Labour in their approach to fiscal policy. Given that they are different political parties, it would be surprising if there was not a difference. These differences will continue and some may be substantial. Neither party has anything to apologise for in that. I assume the Government parties would claim to hold differences. If not, perhaps members from one party should join the other, for example, the Minister for Finance might join the Progressive Democrats. Different parties manage to coalesce in Government provided they reach an agreement on which they are willing to deliver.
