Deputy Se\u00e1n Crowe said:<\/p>\n
\u201cThis week the government claimed success in its implementation of the Action Plan for jobs and awarded itself an 89% success rate.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are clearly living in a bubble and are out of touch with the reality facing most people.<\/p>\n
\u201cTaoiseach Enda Kenny started this process when he set a target of creating 100,000 additional new jobs in the economy by 2016. Unfortunately, since his government came to power over 10,700 full-time jobs have been lost and replaced by 14,400 part-time jobs.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese figures combined with the tens of thousands of emigrants that are leaving our shores on a daily basis are not reflected in their successful score card.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey may award themselves an A+, but the score awarded by many our young people forced into emigration, left on the long term unemployment, or the workers forced onto shorter hours, would inevitably be a poor one.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe report should read needs to work harder, could do better, a lot better.\u201d<\/p>\n
