Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael)

Senator Darragh O'Brien and other Senators raised the lack of language skills, especially in regard to PayPal and the fact that 50% of the jobs there will be sourced abroad, which is to be regretted. In response to many requests from across the House, the Minister for Education and Skills is scheduled to come in to the House in early October for a debate on third level education. The training of people for new types of jobs in the economy could definitely form part of that debate.

Senator O'Brien also referred to broken promises. It is hypocritical of Fianna Fáil to do so given it practically broke the country.
