Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Bill is scheduled for this session. I would be very happy to have the figures discussed in this House. There is a real momentum building at the moment as shown in the figures published by the CSO this morning. The figures show that unemployment has dropped from 15.2% just a few years ago to 10.3% for January 2015. Some 90,000 jobs have been created since 2012. There has been particularly strong growth in the construction and transportation sectors as well as a strong growth in the number of full-time jobs. I am happy for the Whips to have a discussion on this at the request of the Chair of the Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation.
