Nicky McFadden (Fine Gael)

I disagree with Senator Quinn, although I am not comfortable with that because he is a wise and sensible man. However, the contribution of my learned colleague on the Government benches causes my blood to boil because we are not getting leadership. The day of reckoning has come and if we had such leadership in our country, would it not be easy? Earlier, I listened to the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment on the radio on my way to the House. She said the difference in the VAT rate between the North and the South was only 0.5% and it applied only to white goods.
