Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Deputy Higgins is right to refer to those aged between 22 and 25, but what do they want? They want an opportunity to have a decent job, to better themselves and get to a different place if they are unemployed. The fact is that the number on the live register, which was almost at 500,000 when this Government took office, has now gone below 400,000. This year, 113,000 people left the live register and while many were replaced by others, that illustrates the extent of movement in the labour market.
