Charles Flanagan (Laois-Offaly, Fine Gael)

I wish to revert to the matter raised earlier by Deputy Gilmore relating to the lodging by the Taoiseach of the declaration, which is a requirement under law. I ask the Taoiseach to assist the House by outlining what constitutes a working day. I understand the 21 days referred to are, in effect, 21 working days. In view of the recent lavish increase bestowed on himself and his Ministers, there should be no difference between 21 days and 21 working days and if that is the case, the declaration should be lodged this week.
