Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The reforms are to the disregard to let people have an opportunity to upskill, retrain, get a job and have financial independence. We have created 80,000 new jobs in the past few years, while 40,000 new jobs will be created this year. I hope many of these jobs will go to lone parents who can move into the world of work and have a job that will give them financial independence in order that they will have more money to spend on their families and on the opportunities that present. They can never have this when year after year, generation after generation, there is unemployment and dependence on social protection.

The Deputy referred to living in bubbles. I would like him in some of his statements or tweets to answer the questions I understand have been levelled at his party and the way it raises money.
