Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

I have two related questions for the Taoiseach. The first relates to the reply from the Taoiseach to my supplementary question on Leaders' Questions. In the course of that the Taoiseach said he did not wish to reveal the Government's negotiating position with the EU institutions and the IMF. When did the Government decide on its negotiating position in respect of those discussions?

The Minister for Finance this morning suggested that the four-year plan might not now be published until the end of the month. I understood from the Taoiseach's comments yesterday that it would be published next week. Will he clarify whether it will be next week or the end of the month?
