Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

To respond to Deputy Murphy, I mentioned during Leaders' Questions that the Government will put in about €6 billion in 2025. It is estimated that what is required to reach the targets everybody agrees with will be between €15 billion and €20 billion. The Government will not be able to do €15 billion to €20 billion on an ongoing basis. It can do €6 billion and might even do more than that but, without question, we have to get substantial investment going in the private sector as well. That is the reality, despite all the noise and the politics that has been played with this. I am more focused on solution-driven approaches. All I have received in the past three or four days is a great opportunity to have a go or to try to associate the Taoiseach or his comments with certain positions and so on-----
