national Battalion/Page 10 February 19,1982 Irish choose between taxes, former leader United Press International DUBLIN, Ireland — Voters for a new Irish government had to choose Thursday between backing unpopular former Prime Minister Charles Haughey and the sharp tax in creases proposed by Prime Minister Garret FitzGerald. Both Haughey and Fitz Gerald predicted decisive wins, but opinion polls gave conflict ing forecasts, and some obser vers said the balance of power in the new parliament again could be held by independents. The 2.2 million voters had to choose from 364 candidates contesting 166 seats in the Bail, or parliament. Seven candidates were running for the Provision al Sinn Fein, the political wing of the outlawed Irish Republic Army. FitzGerald, 55, whom opin ion polls showed 30 percent ahead of Haughey in personal popularity, said on the eve of the election he was confident his Fine Gail Party would be re elected. “We are sure the electors will support the harsh budgetary measures that have to be taken to put the country’s economy back on the tracks,” FitzGerald said. His coalition with the smal ler Labor Party fell Jan. 28 when parliament rejected his heavy taxation budget by a single vote. “There is a willingness among the people to tackle our financial problems,” he said. Newspaper polls showed Tuesday night’s televised debate between FitzGerald and Haughey, 55, the leader of the Fianna Fail Party, was indecisive and the state’s electricity board said “about half the viewers switched off at the commercial break.” What’s Up at Texas A&M UNI FED CAMPUS MINSITRY: Friday night bible study will be held.
