Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

It is not a debate. We have a series of statements and a stream of consciousness in which we will all engage for two days and we have no proposals from the Government. There is no document. It would appear from what the Taoiseach said that the Government has not yet made any decisions on these matters. Is that the position in advance of tomorrow's debate? Has the Government made decisions in respect of the public finances or not?
