Ivor Callely (Fianna Fail)

I listened with interest to the calls for a debate on the economy. I support my the congratulations of my good friend and colleague, Senator John Hanafin, to the Government on focusing on the creation of employment. In light of what has been said, particularly by Senator O'Reilly, where all seemed to be doom and gloom, we should have a fair and open debate on the success of the economy in recent years.
