Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I am aware of that but this is important. Has the Government set a deadline as to when this uncertainty will conclude in the context of discussions with the trade unions? Has the Government decided that one way or the other it will fix an agenda for presentation in the budget, which is now six days hence, or will this be dragged out interminably until 9 December with no certainty or fix on the future by the Government? The Government is now paralysed and riven by inaction.
