Mary White (Fianna Fail)

As I stated here on numerous occasions, the No. 1 challenge facing the country is the creation of employment. The trade union leaders are being disingenuous in what they say. The American Chamber of Commerce, the members of which are the chiefs of the multinational companies located in Ireland, includes Ms Louise Phelan, who is the sister of our former colleague who died tragically two years ago, former Senator Kieran Phelan, and who has spoken out as the chief executive of PayPal's European operations. On Ireland's track record to date, no doubt we were beginning to restore international confidence in the country. This was started by Fianna Fáil and is being continued by the current Government.
