Michael Noonan (Limerick City, Fine Gael)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 14 and 18 together. There is a commitment in the new programme for Government to review the universal social charge. The terms of reference and other matters relating to the review have yet to be finalised. I expect the terms of reference to be finalised shortly. I anticipate that the review will be completed in time for the 2012 budget.
