Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

No one should be surprised by Fine Gael's and Deputy Kenny's response to the situation in which we find ourselves. I had been saying for some time that my party would respond positively and constructively. However, there was something peculiar, to say the least, about the fact that the leader of the minor party in government had taken it upon himself to write on his party's stationery, given that, when one formed an integral part of the Government, the initiative should have come from it.
