It would be appropriate that the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation come before the House to discuss his plans for the next two to five years in the context of job creation and the retention of young people in this country. That would be an important debate. Negative issues are constantly spoken about in this House. Let us talk about the positive issues, including the creation of jobs, approximately 1,300 of which are being created per week. That will continue. We all have a part to play in that regard. It is important that we have a debate in this House during which we can identify the issues that are affecting the creation of jobs, be that in relation to small businesses or multinational companies, and try to bring about the change that is necessary to assist everybody wishing to create jobs.
