PDs ‘remain open’ on coalition

JUST days after Justice Minister Michael McDowell rubbished the policies of Fine Gael and Labour, his party leader, Tánaiste Mary Harney, said the PDs would consider entering government with them.

On Tuesday, Mr McDowell attacked a government of Fine Gael, Labour and the Greens, calling it a “slump coalition.”

Incomes could fall and taxes would certainly rise if the coalition came to power, he claimed.
