‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - EMS Membership. Decision to join the EMS
Summary
Deputy L'Estrange challenged the Government’s account of economic difficulties and asked whether joining the EMS before Britain was right. The Chair ruled the question irrelevant, while the Minister objected that his earlier remarks had been quoted out of context.
Does the Minister think it right to blame all the Government's faults and mistakes on the sharp rise in oil prices? Do the Government still believe they took the right decision to join the EMS without waiting for Britain to join?
Comment on this
I quoted the Minister's words. He blamed the Government's faults on the sharp rise in oil prices.
Comment on this
Yes, but the Deputy omitted to quote the other items I mentioned. Does he recall them?
