Thomas Byrne is a Meath East TD for FF and tonight he emailed his constituents about the National Recovery Plan.

No outside interference in the writing of this plan seemingly? Not sure what the IMF were reading and commenting on or the ECB or Olli for that matter.

So this Guaranteed Irish Document (sing the National Anthem while you read it) is going to create loads of jobs seemingly and make Ireland a better place to live, to work and to raise a family.

Come dance with the Deputy.

Dear constituents

The National Recovery Plan, launched today, is a four year plan for Ireland to work its way out of recession. It is a clear and straight-forward plan to bring about a better, more prosperous and more sustainable and fairer Ireland.

This is a document prepared in Ireland, by Ireland, for the People of Ireland with no outside interference.

Now is the time to focus on our nation’s future. We must look forward with hope. We must renew our confidence, both in ourselves as citizens and as a people. The Irish people are a proud people. We are a smart and dynamic people and by coming together, we can move forward as a nation.

It includes ways to create new jobs for people who have lost their jobs; new jobs for graduates who are due to graduate college and university and ways to create new jobs for our citizens who have had to leave Ireland in search of work.

All those who want their country to prosper in to the future need to sign up to this challenge. It will involve changes to our standards of living. However, Ireland at the end of this four year plan will be a better place to live, to work and to raise a family.

If others have an alternative, let them come forward with it. I enclose a summary of the main elements of the Plan for you as an attachment.

Kind regards

Thomas Byrne TD
