I do not want to debate it now, I just want to ask a question about it. Those figures were revised downwards in April this year to 67,000 jobs. Last week, on 13 November, they were further revised down to 18,000 jobs. It is quite obvious that there has been an absolute failure of job creation by the State. I ask the Taoiseach to allow a debate in the Chamber on job creation, as well as employment, unemployment and emigration.
