Mr. Dermot Quigley:

The comprehensive review of expenditure is under way and Departments are working on it. The idea is to get material in from the Departments before the end of June. Realistically, the Government will be looking at the material that comes in from the Departments, taking on board inputs from the Department of Public Expenditure. However, it will merge into the consideration of the budget, which will be a matter of September and the first half of October.
