That leaves us all with a sense that the Taoiseach is not on top of this. The extent to which information is being presented to us on a piecemeal basis is contributing to that degree of uncertainty. We have finally managed to extract from the Taoiseach the admission the Government will be introducing a supplementary budget. He has now told the House that in effect unemployment will be over 450,000 by the end of the year. What is the date or has the Taoiseach set a date yet for the supplementary budget?
