James Carroll (Fianna Fail)

I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Finneran. It is my first time to hear him in the Chamber and I wish him the best of luck in his job. He has done a top job so far and should keep it up.

Speaking as a 26 year old, when my age group sees targets and goals for 2020, 2030 and 2050, we think these are long distant and will never impact or come to pass. When I think of 26 years from now I wonder where I will be and what I will be doing.
