Richard Boyd Barrett (Dún Laoghaire, People Before Profit Alliance)

Many of us on this side of the House believe that the move to sell State assets is a shameful betrayal of the public interest. However, given that the Government and the troika are determined to go through with it, can the Minister of State be more specific about the jobs created from this process? From the answer to Deputy O'Dea, should I take it that we do not know many jobs we will create, what projects we will engage in and the funds available to NewERA until the troika gives us permission and gives us the answers to these questions? Can the Minister of State be more specific on his role in deciding the projects, the amount available for the projects, and the number of jobs created?
