Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

I am putting it to the Taoiseach again because this is about practical proposals to get people back to work. One problem has been that the Government, which should have been on top of the unemployment problem at a much earlier stage, is now coming to it late in the day. I found it astonishing that the Taoiseach only met the heads of the agencies a couple of weeks ago.
