Gogarty tells Dáil Ireland must "slash its wrists"
“IT’S A CASE of either slash our wrists, or someone’s going to come and stab us in the heart.” Those are the words of the Green Party’s Paul Gogarty, who has told the Dáil’s debate on the economic outlook that Ireland needs to do itself harm if it wishes to avoid having outside interference in its affairs. Gogarty also added his voice to calls for ministers to lose their automatic right to a Mercedes car, saying that a fleet of cars should be pooled for use as ministers need them.
