I wish you, a Chathaoirligh, and your staff along with all Members of the House a very happy and holy Christmas. We look forward to the new year in the hope that it will be a much better year for us all. I welcome the 300 jobs that were created in the past week, which is an indication of how the economy is beginning to have some sort of upturn. This week we also received the welcome news that the past quarter has been extremely good for our exports. The value of our imports has increased by 1.25% indicating that the domestic market will improve somewhat. Early in the new year we should have a debate on the strong parts of the economy and how we could create more jobs in that regard. It is important that this House recognises and reports good news when we are debating various issues.
