Labour Affairs: Motion (Resumed). (22 Feb 2006)

Jim Glennon: I welcome Deputy Howlin to the House. For a minute I thought that a major debate on the subject of labour would be left entirely unattended by the party that professes to act on workers' behalf.

Labour Affairs: Motion (Resumed). (22 Feb 2006)

Jim Glennon: We must be doing something right if the Progressive Democrats are taking a leaf out of our book. For the benefit of Deputy Howlin, I should clarify that we have 16 months, not 11, remaining.

Labour Affairs: Motion (Resumed). (22 Feb 2006)

Jim Glennon: Deputy Howlin seems very interested in the Taoiseach's will. That we are discussing tonight's topic is very much a testimony to the will of the Taoiseach in particular and to the model of social partnership he introduced.

Labour Affairs: Motion (Resumed). (22 Feb 2006)

Jim Glennon: Other parties in the House could learn a great deal from what the Taoiseach has achieved. I am delighted to have an opportunity to speak on the Government's amendment to the motion.

Labour Affairs: Motion (Resumed). (22 Feb 2006)

Jim Glennon: While the minimum wage has been an important development, it is the product of the social partnership model we have had for the past decade or so and has been championed by the Taoiseach, Deputy Bertie Ahern.

Labour Affairs: Motion (Resumed). (22 Feb 2006)

Jim Glennon: Deputy Joe Higgins is the ideologue. He has the Marxist-Leninist attitude which Sinn Féin has. If Deputy Joe Higgins allowed Sinn Féin into his party, there would be some humour in it because Deputy Higgins has some humour, can laugh occasionally and make some very interesting comments in the House.

Labour Affairs: Motion (Resumed). (22 Feb 2006)

Jim Glennon: In this regard Sinn Féin has only one recipe, for economic disaster. I ask the party to rethink what it is doing and how it is doing it, to allow this country continue in the way it is going, with the Government it has, for further success in the economy in the future.
