Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

With regard to the plan itself, from memory the arrangement for budgetary matters is that documents are given an hour in advance. I will have to check on the protocol for this. It is a question of making this type of arrangements. The plan will be launched in the normal way by the Government. We are not about to put forward a resolution to the House tomorrow for people to get consideration with regard to that. I will check the protocol with regard to launches of development plans and matters of such nature; I will see what the story is with regard to the normal arrangements. I cannot state offhand what those arrangements are.
