Emigration and economic policy

Summary

Garland argued that 176,000 emigrants demonstrated the failure of economic policy; the Ceann Comhairle ruled the policy comment out of order.

Would the Minister agree that even the figure of 176,000 represents the total bankruptcy of our economic policy for the last 20 years, to which his party have greatly contributed?

The Deputy is again entering the area of policy. Let us proceed to questions nominated for priority. I would again advert to the time limit which applies to priority questions so that I may have the co-operation of Deputies in disposing of the four questions on the Order Paper today.
