- Seanad: Action Plan for Jobs 2014: Statements (3 Dec 2014)
Terry Brennan: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire go dtí an Seanad. Creating new jobs will continue to be the top priority for the Government.

It is critical to create more jobs and to improve living standards. Just as we had a plan to...

Terry Brennan: Again, my main point is on hotel prices. I stayed in Dublin 137 or 138 nights last year, I am not sure what it is this year.
