Michael Noonan (Limerick City, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

It will depend on who is sitting on this side of the table. Ultimately, Ministers propose and the Houses of the Oireachtas dispose. What a Minister decides now in respect of what will happen in three years time is not binding on his or her successors. The policy intention of the Department is clear and I am confident that it will be proposing this to either Deputy Pearse Doherty or Deputy Michael McGrath when they are over here in 2016, if that is the way the wheel turns.
