-----while much is still wrong, there are so many challenges that need to be fixed and there are so many social ills that we need to remedy, what we now have is an economy that is at least capable of doing that. What we now have is an economy that is delivering growth and creating jobs. Tens of thousands of jobs have been created, with over 125,000 jobs having been created since our strategy to create employment was put in place. This compares with the wreck of an economy this Government faced when we came into office due to the decisions made by Fianna Fáil.

I listened with interest to what my constituency colleague had to say when she praised Members on this bench for their loyalty. I can tell Deputy McDonald that we could take lessons from her in her coming in here and expressing undying loyalty to her leader.
