There is a blockage in the system...

Leaders' Questions (15 May 2012)

Enda Kenny: The feeling was that Europe had one year or more to get its act together. Clearly, the indications, concerns and anxiety about the Spanish economy have exacerbated.

Enda Kenny: It took a long time to drag out of Deputy Adams some semblance of credit to PayPal for putting 1,000 jobs in his town and constituency. That amounts to a lot of young people, one hopes from that area and other areas, who will be gainfully employed in Deputy Adams's constituency, but he does not have it in him to give credit to the company which made that decision and to IDA Ireland.
