-----deliver better public services to the Irish people. Economic recovery provides us with the platform upon which to build for a future of economic growth, job creation and increased living standards. A Cheann Comhairle, we must never again repeat the mistakes that left Ireland on the verge of bankruptcy in 2010 and resulted in a lost decade and such hardship in the lives of so many people.

The Government's strategy of steady, stable economic growth will benefit all our citizens. It will provide the resources for investment in our public services. It will fund the building of new schools, health centres and essential infrastructure. It will deliver secure jobs to more people than ever before in the history of the State. It will put more money in people's pockets and give people security around their income and their pensions. It will entice our emigrants to return home and they, in turn, will help to build a strong community in all parts of the country.

I thank you, a Cheann Comhairle, and I look forward to the contribution from my colleague, the Minister, Deputy Howlin, and from the Opposition spokespersons on finance.
