Paul Murphy (Dublin South West, Anti-Austerity Alliance) | Oireachtas source

The proof of the pudding is in the lack of an indigenous manufacturing and industrial base in this country. It is a failure. Brexit, Mr. Trump and a few international developments could come along and wipe out the entire strategy overnight. It is not a way to develop an economy in a sustainable way. Unfortunately, the chickens will come home to roost and I am not sure the Government has another plan. The left, at least, will be very clear in stating the alternative that exists.
