Yes. Now that Ireland has the highest inflation rate in Europe, can we reasonably expect that the Government will not do anything tomorrow to fuel it further?

I would also welcome a debate on Northern Ireland following the elections. It behoves us as democrats – we are all true democrats – that, whatever our private views, we allow for the possibility of change. Once the DUP engages with both Governments, the tune might change. Perhaps Dr. Paisley is a mighty mouse and what he says in north Antrim might not be the same as what he says when he goes to London, or, please God, to Dublin. We have to allow for that possibility. I would welcome a debate on the matter.
