We only knew about it when the Fine Gael lads told us. It was a pure fluke – we just happened to see they had a list and wondered if there was one for us
Fine Gael will not involve itself in scare tactics; we're dealing with reality here. Minister Noonan, above anybody else, has had the unprecedentedly difficult challenge of facing an economic mess that no other minister before him ever faced.
It’s not easy or attractive – and we know this in Fine Gael – for an Opposition party to support the Government. Fianna Fáil should be given credit for their stance on this important issue

Fine Gael will not involve itself in scare tactics

Bertie boosted in poll – blow for Fine Gael.
Obviously, it was handled very badly ... We now need to bring this back on track. It wasn’t just Labour TDs who had a difficulty about this. I think a lot of Fine Gael TDs had difficulties about how it was handled.
