Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

It is depressing listening to Sinn Féin trying to feed the world of self-delusion and misery it portrays all the time. It continually pretends that there is no improvement occurring in the economy. I remember listening to it when we were starting out on this difficult journey to rebuild the economy. Its Deputies were saying there were no jobs available. Then they shifted to saying they were all scheme or part-time jobs. They then shifted again to saying they were all zero hour jobs. None of this is true, however. Not a shred of the image Sinn Féin seeks to portray of what is happening in the country is true.
