Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Sometimes the folders get mixed up.

The legislative programme for this Dáil session published by the Chief Whip contains 17 Bills, seven of which were listed for the previous session and some others were on the list before that. Has any analysis been carried out of how these targets are to be reached? There is little point in publishing lists of Bills which do not make it through to publication, never mind as far as being debated in the House.

In respect of the figures produced yesterday and with economic indicators going in the wrong direction in many ways, will the Tánaiste consider time for a debate next week, in view of the fact that tax revenue is €600 million short and we are heading for a deficit of more than €6 billion, which will be the largest ever?
