Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The live register has declined for 15 consecutive months and the unemployment rate has decreased from 15.5% to 13.5%. We are creating jobs for young people. If Deputy McDonald states the JobBridge scheme for young graduates is a Mickey Mouse operation she should go and speak to people from every constituency. Young graduates were confined to the dole queues but because we have reformed the system they have an opportunity to go into the world of work. More than 65% of those who go on a JobBridge scheme find full employment as a consequence. If Deputy McDonald thinks this is a Mickey Mouse operation she should speak to them.
