Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

One of the values of the EMC is that parties engage with each other about the matters that affect the country and bring them to Cabinet for discussion and decision. Our priorities are to fix our public finances, eliminate our deficit and create full employment. We want to provide opportunities for our people for the way ahead so that the economy is well-managed and Ireland can take its place again as a country that is reliable, confident and competently managed, and whose people have an opportunity to contribute to their own lives, to their communities, to our country and as a consequence to the European Union and beyond.
