and the acknowledgment of Fianna Fail’s role in Ireland’s present economic problems
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 campaign in every city, town and parish in the country in asking people to vote Yes
Fine Gael will not involve itself in scare tactics
What Fine Gael want to do is lead an alliance of political parties and people
The establishment of this group is symbolic of the great progress Ireland has made over the last 20 years for LGBT people, and of the support of Fine Gael to ensure that LGBT people are fully included in Irish society
It’ll be very, very tight . . . We have a huge job to do, both Fine Gael and Labour, and it will involve a similar amount of energy and commitment as a general election.
People will meet somebody from Fine Gael, somebody from Labour, who will talk to them about the treaty
