Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I hope it will give some confidence to our indigenous economy, employers will find it easier to take on employees and people will have the confidence to begin to spend money. We must look to release the frustration of so many people in this country who want to get back to work so we can make a decent stab at finding work for the 440,000 people currently on the live register.
