Geraldine Feeney (Fianna Fail)

I too support the call for a debate this week or next week on a mini-budget or, as the Opposition calls it, a crisis budget. Let us call it what we want, we will need it. This is a crisis, as figures released last night show, and it is a mini-budget.

I welcome Senator Bradford's calm, balanced approach and I look forward to seeing the fruits of that when we debate the crisis. I will watch with interest to see if we get that from the Opposition. The Senator sitting beside him could do with taking a little calmness and clear-headedness from Senator Bradford.
