I thank the Minister for his opening statement. I propose that ten minutes be allowed for the opening round of questions and five minutes for any second and subsequent rounds.

Before I invite Deputy Dooley to put his questions, I have a question for the Minister on the financial transaction tax. The Minister's report to the joint committee today indicates that that has not yet been fully decided and that there are processes in place for a commencement date. Is that correct?
