Joe Higgins (Dublin West, Socialist Party)

I am aware of that but I have to put my question in the context of the Minister who made the policy. I want to find out how aspects of the policy appertain the Department of the Taoiseach because the Minister of State at the Department of Finance, Deputy Parlon, the junior Minister, though surely not in his own mind, told the House that 2007 was only an indicative date. Will the Taoiseach say whether decentralisation in his Department will be completed in 2007 or what date does he expect that to take place?
