Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I know that the Deputy is not interested in the Punch and Judy stuff that he has been at for the last few weeks. I do not know whether he is opposed or in favour of a solidarity contribution, in the form of a pension levy, to create jobs. Our duty and our responsibility is to grow this economy, to create jobs and to bring about a situation where people are going to have the opportunity to go to work. That duty comes before any sectoral interest and I am sure the Deputy supports the opportunity for job creation arising from the solidarity contribution.
