lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I am delighted to welcome the Taoiseach and Minister Creighton to the European Parliament in Strasbourg at the beginning of the Irish Presidency of the European Union. It is a proud moment for Ireland to embark on its seventh Presidency since our accession 40 years ago. Much has changed in those 40 years for Ireland and for Europe, most of it for the better. However, our Presidency comes at a critical time. There are new and serious challenges facing the EU, its 27 Member States and its 500 million citizens. These challenges must be confronted with a new sense of urgency. A generation of young people must not be abandoned to long-term unemployment. A sense of aimlessness in young lives will inevitably poison young minds. I particularly welcome the Taoiseach’s assertion that the Irish Presidency will prioritise stability, growth and employment. It is important to recognise that stability on its own is not enough. We must promote growth and create jobs. That is what engenders solidarity among the citizens of the EU and restores people’s faith in the vision of the founding fathers. Peace and prosperity through solidarity and cohesion. Thus I greatly welcome the Irish Presidency’s commitment to the youth guarantee as a key policy platform urgently addressing the unemployment crisis in the EU. Finally, the banking crisis has held the EU in thrall for too long. It is time to complete banking union and to break the link between banking and sovereign debt once and for all. I am sure that these priorities will be pursued and progressed by the Irish Presidency to bring them to fruition over the next six months."@en1
