Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

In this light, €20 million for job creation does not add up. The people are looking for hope. Sinn Féin is hopeful, as people are increasingly realising that the Government is on the wrong road. Will the Taoiseach reflect again instead of giving his usual stock answer? This is a new year and the Government is relatively new, although some believe it is Fianna Fáil recycled. We want a real commitment, which means putting people's money not into bad banks or unguaranteed bondholders, but into job creation. What money will be invested in job creation in 2012? Will the Taoiseach confirm that €4.3 billion will be given to bad banks and unguaranteed bondholders?
