EU-IMF Programme: Statements (Resumed)
12:00 pm
Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)
I am not making an argument. I am stating that companies in Ireland are increasing their export levels which means their profits are increasing but no new jobs have been created in these fields. I am not giving out about these companies; I welcome that fact. What I am stating is that the workers in these companies are not benefiting additionally. They are benefiting by the fact that they have a job but they are not benefiting additionally because they are not benefiting from increased wages in those companies.
