Paschal Mooney (Fianna Fail)

I would be happy with an analysis, as would other Members on this side of the House, because it would be discovered and concluded that not everything that happened under a Fianna Fáil Administration was responsible for the collapse of the world economy. I refer the Leader to the global economic forum in the Far East that concluded yesterday at which the Chinese Deputy Prime Minister stated we were all in this together as our economies were globally interlocked and that the only way we would be able to get out of the crisis was by working together. As for any suggestion that what happened during the terms of office of the Fianna Fáil-led Administrations led to the collapse of this economy and that of the entire world, I rely on the good instincts of the people who will decide.
