Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

We must bring order to our finances; our ability to borrow money to provide continued services in education, health and social welfare require this. We are not unique in the world in having had to stabilise our public finances and our system of money but thanks to the decisive leadership of the Taoiseach and this Government we have been ahead of many countries in doing so quickly. This will stand us in good stead as we seek to create new sustainable jobs.
