Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

If I may reply to the query, the answer is the same as I gave to Deputy Kenny. The four year plan will be published in the first half of November. The exact date has not yet been selected by the Government. I have no idea why the spokesperson for Commissioner Rehn gave the date of 4 November. It is inaccurate and contact has been made with the Commission to clarify the position.
