We need quality of life, not just jobs

REGARDING the latest EU summit, Taoiseach Enda Kenny said “EU leaders have acted in a decisive manner and the deal allows for a much improved environment within the eurozone, in which Ireland can focus on creating real opportunities for jobs and getting people back to work.”

His main focus seems to be on job creation, but is that the answer to our problems?

What most people want is a life, and not just a job, just ask anyone that is still in a job, but for whom life has become a constant struggle, a never ending juggling act in an effort to keep a roof over their family’s head and food on their table.
