Construction industry funding
Burke asked the Minister to fund construction jobs amid high unemployment; the Minister replied sarcastically, drawing criticism from Collins and Fitzgerald.
I should like to ask the Minister if out of the £100 million he has in his programme for Government with the Fine Gael Party he will put some money into the construction industry, bearing in mind that 40 per cent of all construction workers are unemployed?

I should like to assure the Deputy that if I find any spare pennies left behind by his administration I will definitely put them into the building industry.

That smart-Alick stuff will not get the Minister anywhere; it does not help the building workers.
