Last year, the Minister did not publish a summer economic statement and was criticised by the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council as a result. We expected this year's summer economic statement to be published yesterday. Another committee of the Oireachtas is to discuss it with the Minister tomorrow morning. We understand there are squabbles within Government, memorandums have been pulled from Cabinet and party leaders have to convene because they cannot agree on what they have called the priority of Government, namely, funding for housing. When is the Government going to get its act together on this? More importantly, when will we in the Opposition and the finance committee see the summer economic statement? Will it be published today?
