Jerry Buttimer (Fine Gael)

I am looking not only for a debate but for action from the Government, which has failed to provide jobs for 450,000 people who are unemployed. That is the fundamental task of the Government and it has failed to do that. It has failed to cater for the escalation in the number of unemployed people. Senator Norris is correct. There are people who cannot pay mortgages or buy food and they make choices between medicine or trips for their children. When will it end?
