Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The answer to that question is "No". The Government has no such agenda. The mandate given to the Government was to sort out our public finances and provide opportunities for jobs for our people. We will never have the type of country we know we can have unless these two principal issues are dealt with. Irish people have come a long way in the past three years. When one asks people, whether they are in the town or country, what they really want, one hears all the usual answers, but essentially everybody wants to have a job and not just a job but a good one. For this to happen we must have a country and an economy running effectively. We did not have this in the profligacy of the so-called tiger years when some gained everything and others lost everything.
