Joan Burton (Dublin West, Labour)

May I ask the Taoiseach two questions? There was an extensive report in the media today about a revised national development programme, particularly in regard to roads and public transport such as the Luas and the metro. Can the Taoiseach confirm whether the Government is producing a revised national development programme? If so, when is it likely to be published?

During the consideration of the NAMA legislation, when the Minister for Finance very graciously accepted a number of Labour Party amendments, we were promised that when the revised NAMA business plan was available - it was submitted to the Government last week - it would be published and made available to Opposition spokespersons. Before we all go away on what I hope will be happy holidays, could the Opposition see the revised NAMA business plan?
