Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Does she think it is all right to live in an ivory tower? Is that what she assumes? I want her to understand that the Government is engaging vigorously with people about their concerns and anxieties. We are listening and we will act, in so far as we can, in the interests of the nation and the people. Our job is to rectify the public finances and the legacy we inherited. The Government must make decisions that provide opportunities for people to work in gainful employment.
