I compliment Fine Gael on taking its Seanad finance spokesperson to the Department yesterday. It was very important that the Seanad was represented by Senator Twomey. I hope the Labour Party will follow the example set by Fine Gael when it goes back to the Department because this House has a serious contribution to make. I fully encourage spokespersons to be centre stage in regard to the briefings and in the national interest in terms of what must be done.
