Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

On 10 November the Government will publish the capital spending plan. On 17 November it will publish the various public service reforms identified in the comprehensive review of spending. On 1 December the detailed spending Estimates for 2012 will be published and the budget will be announced on 6 December. I should point out to the Deputy that the publication of all this material in advance of the budget is in marked contrast to the manner in which his party used to do business in respect of the budget.
