Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform
Strategy Statement 2011-2014 and IFSC Clearing House Group: Discussion with Department of the Taoiseach
2:20 pm
Mr. Martin Fraser:
There are a number of statistics. The one I look at is the number on the live register, which is over 400,000 people. This is way too high and there are people behind the statistics. I would not argue with anyone saying there are major problems for people without jobs. People can quote statistics in all sorts of ways, but that is the central fact.
