This question relates to the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP. It is an absolute disgrace that we are heading into the recess without having a comprehensive discussion in the Parliament about its widescale implications. The Minister has made repeated claims that it will have a wonderful impact on job creation and GDP growth rates. In 2013 he told us it would lead to the creation of 2 million jobs and put an extra €500 in the pockets of every family of four. Earlier this year he said it would lead to the creation of 400,000 jobs. Is he satisfied with the credibility of the reports on which he is relying in making these outlandish statements?
