I welcome this morning's job announcement in the Cork region, the fourth such announcement in the past seven days. It indicates that the way we are running the economy is having a positive effect on investors who now have the confidence to invest in this country again.

While I always welcome Senator Rónán Mullen's contributions in the House, I advise him that issues such as the single farm payment and other farming related matters are also relevant. I am sure he will become an expert on these issues in the run-up to the European Parliament elections.
