Lenihan: United national effort is required
Finance Minister Brian Lenihan has warned the Opposition that "anger and abuse" can no longer function as economic policies, and a united national effort is required to get Ireland through the current crisis.
Speaking ahead of a meeting today between Taoiseach Brian Cowen and the main Opposition leaders, Minister Lenihan said Fine Gael and Labour have a duty to give certainty to the international markets on their economic policies.
