The Minister should come down to the midlands where for the past six years there has been a haemorrhage of jobs, which have not been replaced, and talk to people about a disincentive to employment. She should talk to those who lost their jobs recently following the closure of the Tubex plant outside Nenagh. Very few of these people have managed to get another job despite their best efforts because there are no jobs. The Government is claiming it is not its fault but the fault of those people.
