Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

This must be submitted every Friday to the IMF and the EU and report on everything that has been done up to the previous Thursday. The document will contain detail about when legislation is to be presented and so on. In this context we are entitled to hear something other than the traditional vague answers we have received from the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste on these matters. On what date will the Dáil reconvene after Christmas and on what date will the finance Bill be introduced? We are aware the social welfare Bill will be introduced and enacted next week, on budget week, which was never done before. It will be brought in on Wednesday.
