FF waffle hard to take from the man who presided over the loss of 90,000 jobs a year - Collins

Fine Gael Cork North West Deputy and member of the Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, ?ine Collins, has said the waffle coming from Fianna F?il?s Dara Calleary today (Friday) in respect of the Government?s Action Plan for Jobs is hard to take considering he was the Minister for Labour Affairs for two years when 90,000 jobs a year were being lost.

?Fianna F?il?s neck simply couldn?t be harder. Dara Calleary has been waxing lyrical all day about what he does and doesn?t approve of in the Government?s Action Plan for Jobs 2013. This, from the man who was in the Department of Enterprise for the two years before the electorate showed Fianna F?il the door. During this time somewhere in the region of 90,000 jobs a year were being lost in the private sector.

?It is unfathomable that Calleary would have the nerve to lecture the Government about the best way forward to create jobs. Since when is he qualified to give such advice?

?The Action Plan for Jobs is designed to support indigenous business, encourage multinationals to base themselves here and to plot the best way for our SMEs to increase market share and boost export potential. The Plan has been endorsed by all of the heavy hitters in industry; IBEC, ICTU, SFA, Chambers Ireland, IHF, ICT Ireland and Retail Excellence Ireland.

?Despite Fianna F?il?s deepest hope that the Irish electorate will simply forget what they did to our country, the daily reminders persist in too many people?s everyday lives. This Government has stemmed the tide of unemployment and we are working hard to get the country back to work. We are undaunted by the task and will continue to work to create 100,000 new jobs by 2016, get our people are off the dole and back to work.?

Ends
