Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

-----the capacity and the potential of Irish workers by saying that he has no confidence in the country when other people from outside want to invest here because they recognise the potential and the work rate and the productivity of our workforce. We are very happy to support that. The Government will continue to make efforts to stimulate our indigenous economy so that young men and young women can go to work in their own townlands, towns and counties if that is what they wish to do.

Deputy Ó Caoláin does not support that proposition. He has never supported anything in this House. He wants to pay for nothing and votes against everything on the basis of swimming with the tide and attempting to be popular on all occasions.
