Martin Mansergh (Tipperary South, Fianna Fail)

I am pleased to be in the Seanad again and to have this opportunity to speak in the debate in support of the Government amendment on the management of the economy, confidence in business and relevant ethical issues. Some regrets have been expressed by Senators that there is not an agreed motion but realistically, there will not be an agreed motion in which part of the preamble states there is a lack of confidence in the Government.
