Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

No, but I am glad to report that there is a continuing drop in the number of unemployed people, a continuing rise in the number of employed people and generally an improvement in the prosperity of the country. Obviously, we want to have an opportunity for so many more people who do not have gainful employment to achieve it. That is the best route out of poverty, as Deputy Kenny is well aware.
