Where are we in terms of the process of devising an Estimate? Will we see a repeat of the situation whereby Estimates are announced on budget day only to be changed subsequently because the HSE, as the biggest State employer, says they are not achievable? Will we be publishing annual Estimates in the knowledge that the head of the organisation who asked to make the biggest budget adjustment says it cannot be done? Is that issue out of Mr. Watt's control? We want to be able to rely on statements on budget day.
