James Bannon (Longford-Westmeath, Fine Gael)

As we head towards the end of another Dáil year, I note it has been marked by the absence of any sign of action on the much needed and important monuments Bill. Will the Tánaiste confirm this Bill will be taken in the next session?

In view of the mess the economy is in, brought about by the Government's squandering of taxpayers' money over some time, will the Tánaiste assure the House there will be no mini-budget between now and December?
