Tom Kitt (Dublin South, Fianna Fail)

I agree with Deputy Joe Higgins in that we should be doing our best to deal with this, but the rate of population increase is extraordinary. The Government cohesively pursues a wide range of policies in this regard, although I have no doubt that the Deputy would fundamentally disagree with some of them. He has indicated such in the House on previous occasions. We are talking about attracting inward investment through having the right mix of taxation policies in an enterprise culture. I would argue about many of the policies to which the Deputy subscribes.
