I was taken by the historical nature of Senator Minihan's contribution. He went back to the 1980s which I only just remember. In this debate we must look towards the future and set clear policies and objectives. I regret that the Senator chose to enter into a party political broadcast on behalf of the Progressive Democrats and revise Irish history of the 1980s in the manner in which he did. We are looking for solutions to the present problem. The projected economic growth level for the next year is 1.4%, a startling figure and an indictment of the Government's, and its predecessor's, actions.
