Mary Moran (Labour)

It is dreadful. That is the reason we are in this position and why we have had to make the cuts we did. Nobody likes to do that.

I agree wholeheartedly with Senator Mullins it would be a fantastic idea to arrange a debate on job creation in the new year. I also agree with and welcome the news from the Taoiseach that the proposed cuts for disability will be reversed. I am delighted at this. It goes to show how in touch our Government is, that Ministers from both Fine Gael and the Labour Party can listen to each other and be willing to meet with us, as they did last night, listen to our concerns and be prepared now to act upon them. That is what real politics is about.
