  1. >The party’s finance spokesman Pearse Doherty recently told The Irish Times there was no contradiction between Sinn Féin’s reformist zeal and engagement with business.
    “I believe we [will be] a radical government, although some of the ideas that we’re putting forward aren’t that radical – like building homes on public land, ensuring education at third level is free and increasing research and development investment,” he said.
    “But nobody who wants to see a radical programme by Sinn Féin wants business to be punished. They need to have a job, they need to have a fair wage, and they want to see investment,” Doherty said.

    Fair enough.
