Ann Ormonde (Fianna Fail)

I endorse some of the points raised by Senator Bradford. It is important that we all work together. All heads must work on this serious issue, the fact that we must increase taxation and cut expenditure. Nobody knows what will come at us next week. I would welcome an all-party debate in this House to put all our heads together. I am sure many ideas would come from the other side that I would like and many I would not like. Members across the floor might perhaps welcome suggestions we could put forward. We should have that ongoing debate as soon as possible. I do not want the International Monetary Fund to decide how best we can do business. We must sort this out for ourselves and we will do so. We did it before and we will do it again.
