Unemployment and government record

Summary

The Leader pointed to falling unemployment as evidence of Government success and contrasted current figures with those when the coalition took office.

Will the Senator, please, allow the Leader to respond? I should also admonish the Leader about not goading other Members of the House.

Sometimes less is more. I ask Senator Rose Conway-Walsh to look at and reflect on the unemployment figures in Ireland today, compared to the figures when we entered government.
