Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny has said his party would insist that any four year plan for economic recovery is underpinned by a parallel strategy for growth and jobs.
In a keynote address to the Young Fine Gael national conference in Charleville, Co Cork, Mr Kenny said the objectives of his party's package of economic reforms over the next four years were an average GNP growth of 4% and an average employment growth of almost 40,000 per year.
He told delegates the party has 'a clear and absolute commitment to recover our fiscal health by reducing the State’s deficit to less than 10% for next year and to bring it back to 3% by 2014.'
