Willie O'Dea (Limerick City, Fianna Fail)

Will the Minister accept his jobs initiative has failed? In net terms, no new jobs have been created while the unemployment rate has gone up. Will the Minister agree it is not too far off the mark to say one in two on the live register has been unemployed for more than 12 months? Am I far off the mark saying youth unemployment now stands at over 30%? Will the Minister agree every projected rate for economic growth over the next two years will still be insufficient in creating more employment?
