Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 3 to 5, inclusive, together. The programme for Government between the parties in Government, and which enjoys the support of a number of Independent Members of Dáil Éireann, was agreed following last year's general election and sets a detailed agenda for Ireland's development to 2012. Much progress has already been achieved in fulfilling the commitments. Each Department has produced a statement on its progress in regard to implementing the programme for Government imminently. These statements were published on the Government website on Wednesday, 24 September.
