Madam, - Dr Garret Fitzgerald has a long memory: he refers in his column of Saturday May 29th to "the recent recession". The last time we had a recession (when GNP fell) was in 1986 and Dr FitzGerald himself was Taoiseach. - Yours etc.,
MARY HARNEY, Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Dáil Éireann, Dublin 2.
