Billy Timmins (Wicklow, Fine Gael)

The Minister of State has acknowledged there will be an impact on achievement of the aforementioned six high-level goals. Does the Government intend to change or amend those goals? Clearly there must be an impact and it was mentioned earlier that the commitment given on Irish Aid will not be adhered to. Does the Minister intend to drop any of the goals or does he intend to publish a statement to amend the intentions as outlined in the Statement of Strategy 2008-2010?
