We can bank on the smart new jobs plan

I MUST laud the Government on its brave plan to create 300,000 new jobs.

'Trading and Investing in a Smart Economy’ – as the plan is called – will do much to aid our recovery.

The 15,000 new jobs in the tourism industry are to be welcomed, as well as the €10 travel tax that each tourist will have to pay so they can come and spend their money here – all of which should more than pay for these new jobs.
