Mary lou has also been talking about apprenticships… Another point she should talk up…its cheap labour and in 5/6/7 years they will have added x amount of qualified trades people back into the Irish economy… Play up the prudent nature of a long term vision while also recruiting trades people for the here and now…just show up Martin’s short term vision really.
That doesn’t sound like something that will have a dramatic immediate impact on capacity. It actually sounds like the waffly answer you give when you know there is an issue but want to throw something out to sound like you have a solution
And the extra dole money. Thats prudent long term vision because…

Populism in other countries - Trump, Johnson, Brexit
Not a surprise we are seeing our own populism here with rise of Sinn Fein and their promises of lots of houses, cheaper rents, better healthcare, more dole, pension age stay same, tax cuts, no more property tax all to be funded by cutting pension relief for middle income workers and taxing business and employment providers that can slowly or quickly leave the country or reduce their operations here in a global economy.
Be interesting to see how they perform in government now.
Increasing dole by 25 per cent in a time of full employment is complete auction politics and populism.

It’s our Brexit. Let’s just get it done.

He once said that drink driving is particularly important for nervous (i.e. bad) drivers to allow them to relax.
