Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

As Minister for Finance I have not sanctioned the expense of an interactive white board for Government meetings. On the suggestion that we should meet at 10.30 a.m. on Wednesday morning, the commemoration by the State of the 1916 Rising takes place at Arbour Hill on Wednesday morning. As Deputy Ó Caoláin acknowledges, the Minister for Health and Children is at an emergency meeting in Luxembourg to discuss swine vesicular disease and I am sure she will be pleased to advise the House of developments next week.
