Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

-----and write the contract so that if he does not do what he says he will do, he will hand it back to the lessee, in this case the IDA. I am sure we will not see leaflets delivered all over north Dublin with explanations by the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste for those workers on why the Government failed yet again to secure 300 high-tech jobs in the interests of this industry, region and the country. It is not too late yet; those jobs have not gone across the sea.

If the Taoiseach is supposed to be in charge then he should get out of his seat in Government Buildings and prove it - invite Mr. O'Leary in today and personally intervene, as he did with the banks. He wrote a cheque on behalf of the people for €54 billion for NAMA. Write that cheque, intervene and secure those jobs for Dublin and Meath and prove himself to be the Taoiseach. When I get the chance, when I am over there, I will intervene.
