Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

-----where jobs can be created and some element of the capital infrastructure in terms of the construction industry can be employed for useful gain, where people can see real benefit. That is where the focus is.

We would like to think that by the end of the first year all these problems could be sorted out but that is not possible. The focus is very clear in this regard. The movement is in the right direction and as it begins to pick up and focus on stimulating the indigenous economy one hopes we can bring about a lifting of confidence, a spend in people' resources and more jobs being created therefrom, bringing about a greater confidence among our people. That is where my focus and that of the Government lies. Written answers follow the Adjournment.
