Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

In respect of the Taoiseach's last comment, when does the Government expect to consider that report and sign off on it? Are we likely to see that report published before the end of the year or will it be sometime in the new year?

On Thursday last, I asked the Tánaiste a number of questions here but she was unable to give a complete answer, maybe because the Government has not decided. I ask the Taoiseach when it is expected the Dáil will resume after Christmas. Will it be 11 or 12 January? Is the Finance Bill and its implications the only matter the Government wishes to deal with on its return? I ask this for obvious reasons.
