John Cregan (Limerick West, Fianna Fail)

That is where the Green Party will find its targets and it is unacceptable. The Green Party, if nothing else, is consistent. I respect its views and policies, but I am surprised other parties, and my colleagues from west Limerick, are prepared to come into this House to vote to lose jobs in Aughinish Alumina and Wyeth Nutritionals Ireland in Askeaton, and I defy them to do that. That should not happen and I hope it will not happen. I am being realistic. I commend the Minister for the manner in which he is setting out to achieve our 13% plus target.
