Joe O'Toole (Independent)

The approach I would take if I were an Opposition Member, and which I am tempted to take as an Independent, is to put the Government to the board each month to tell us how many new jobs have been brought forward. The Minister of State knows I raised such a proposal in the Joint Committee on Finance and the Public Service. I will be seeking this information on a monthly basis in an attempt to determine the progress being made. This data should be measured as we go along.
