Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

The Deputy is aware that, as outlined by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform and the Minister for Finance, the bulk of the money for the jobs initiative comes from the levy on the pension industry. There are no programmes that will not go ahead, although there will be some capital works, which have already been referred to, that cannot go ahead because of insufficient moneys. No programmes are being abandoned. Committee Stage of the Finance (No. 2) Bill will allow the Deputy to pursue any other questions he has in this regard.
