Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I do treat the Deputy like an adult. He has been elected by the good people of County Louth, as is their absolute right, and does his best to serve them in his way. He also puts forward his own propositions, with which I happen to disagree. He speaks of welcoming job creation; it is true that in recent months decisions made by investors and companies abroad have resulted in 1,000 jobs being announced every month.

These have created spin-off opportunities for many small and medium enterprises to provide them with services and products in a competent fashion. The fiscal stability treaty, and a very strong "Yes" vote, will strengthen that confidence.
