Paul Bradford (Fine Gael)

I look forward to the Minister's response in the first place. We must be realistic. The country is in the current position because politicians played politics and were not realistic for the past ten years. If we are to have any hope of turning the country around, getting rid of poverty, getting people back to work and growing the economy again, we must have real politics. Real politics is generally difficult politics. It is not about easy choices and slogans.
