Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

There are two parts to this. First, there is the debate on the statement made by the Minister for Finance in announcing the jobs initiative on Tuesday. He will respond to that debate and answer questions. Second, arising from the announcement of the jobs initiative on Tuesday, a finance Bill will be introduced later in the Dáil. That will give Deputies a further opportunity to debate the detail of the various proposals made. A social welfare Bill will also be introduced which will give Deputies an opportunity to pursue matters in detail with the Minister for Social Protection.
