Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

In respect of the budget to be brought in on 7 April, is it intended that the Government will make available to Opposition parties for their consideration the matters that have been discussed by Government and those sent to it by every Department and an bord snip nua? How, in the name of high heaven, is anybody on the Opposition benches expected to make any contribution of validity when we are not even being given the facts the Government is considering and will eventually decide on before 7 April? It is only appropriate that this should apply. Will the Taoiseach respond to the queries of Opposition parties to deal with that matter?
