Harney: airport row won’t scupper Coalition

THE Progressive Democrats will not pull the plug on the coalition Government over the split on the second terminal at Dublin Airport, Tánaiste Mary Harney insisted yesterday.

But the Health Minister and Progressive Democrat leader said other issues, such as health, which would find more "common cause" with the public could force a general election.

"I don't think anyone would chose the issue of a terminal at Dublin Airport as an election issue I think there are bigger issues than that," Ms Harney said yesterday in Cork.
