Jerry Buttimer (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The political focus that is required is to find a solution and to get people back to work. At times I wonder whether certain Members opposite want to see the country fail completely so that they can go out with their flags and drums and organise protests and state they were right. I hope that is not the case. This is about getting people back to work, ending the scourge of emigration and generating a stimulus to create jobs.
