Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour) | Oireachtas source

The first thing that working people need is a job and that is why we have to fix this country's economy, its reputation, its banking system and its finances in order that we will get the investment in the country to sustain jobs and to create more jobs.

Second, the Labour Party has always believed in decent public services in this country and in access to health and education and the other public services we need, but in order to have public services,one has to able to pay for them. One cannot live in a fantasy world or a world of fairytales where somebody else will pay for them-----
