Found it!Great news, unless you're Michael Kennedy, TD: I found the clip (mentioned below) where Kennedy, an elected member of the Irish parliament for Dublin North, praised the contribution of Bertie Ahern - who is currently working his notice as Taoiseach - to the Irish economy.
Predictably, Fianna Failers will be out trying to get their version of history on the record, while the Opposition are trying to narrow Ahern's achievements to the Good Friday Agreement.
For the record, unemployment in 1997 was around 170,000 or 10% - not 2,000,000 as Deputy Kennedy suggests. Note that Kennedy's estimate would have meant we had 117% unemployment, which, admittedly, would have been quite bad.
Here's the full quote:
"The fact that we have 2 million people employed now where when he came into office I think we had two million people on the dole. That is a phenomenal record and this country owes him a fantastic debt."
