Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

He ridicules the fact that more than 11,000 jobs were created in the hospitality sector as a result of the reduction in VAT. He ridicules the suggestion that the Government should not increase income tax so that there would be no extra tax on jobs. He ridicules the suggestion that, for example, the renegotiation of the memorandum of understanding with the troika meant the Government was able to restore the minimum wage which his Government reduced for 30,000 people on low incomes.
