Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

I want to know from the Tánaiste the Government's timetable for the legislation we were told would be taken. We need to have some certainty and clarity about the timetable for the completion of the legislation that arises from the budget. We also need an assurance from the Government that it will not find one excuse after the other to delay the inevitable, that is, the fresh start, people getting back to work and getting the country working again which can happen only with the election of a new Government.
