Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

The jobs budget will involve a statement to the House. The Government is giving priority to jobs and to getting people back to work. No matter the semantics of what it is called, let us be clear that the Government is determined to deal with the issue of jobs as part of the process of economic recovery we want to bring about given the mess we have inherited. The fiscal responsibility Bill is to be published this session and will be dealt with by the House in due course.
