Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

I am very proud to be part of this Government. I am proud that we have put through a budget and that in a difficult time when we have been able to find savings and reductions in the totality that I have allocated additional resources in the areas where it is important. The country needs to transform its economy and the only way to do this is to transform the next generation of young people coming into the labour market. I am proud to be in a position to help to do this.
