Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy for his comments. His addition has been out on a few occasions in the past. I am not here to bring forward a proliferation of promises that cannot be matched. On more than one occasion I have said the situation, in so far as the economy is concerned, is fragile and certainly not complete. The priority has to be to secure recovery. The more jobs we can create, the better it will be for the country. This requires careful analysis of the progress the economy is making. Whatever is to be delivered must be delivered within the 2016 budget. The economic statement we will set out at the end of the spring will look beyond this to the next three to five years. Whatever the people do when it comes to the general election, political stability will lead to economic stability which, in turn, will lead to confidence, investment and more jobs. It is so easy to lose all of these by making the wrong set of decisions.
