Willie O'Dea (Limerick East, Fianna Fail)

In that case Deputy Timmins can do it himself. He wishes that I do the work for him.

The White Paper was designed to run from 2000 to 2009. I will consider producing another when the present paper has run its course. Many initiatives are contained in this paper, such as the reserve, and these will not be completed until 2009. When the present White Paper has been implemented, another programme will be implemented by this Government over the next ten years.
