John Gormley (Dublin South East, Green Party)

Speculation may be rife in here, but it does not matter a whit to people outside this House. They are concerned about their livelihoods and their jobs. They want to see the Government getting on with it. They want us to make these decisions. Those of us who travelled abroad recently understand that it is now recognised internationally that Ireland is tackling its problems. As we tackle them, we will come out of recession and create jobs and this Government will have done a very good job for the Irish people.
