Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Far from living in an ivory tower, the Government is cracking on in dealing with the obstructions to business and job creation. That is where our focus is going to be. I sympathise with every person who is unemployed, as people want to work. There are some cultures within Irish society which must be shaken up because we are facing a new reality. We are not our own economic masters. The Government was left with that legacy, but it is going to shift the position and return to a point where Ireland can borrow on the bond markets-----
