Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

I am disappointed there will be no specific statement on the circulation of budgetary proposals to German parliamentarians. I tabled a special notice question and I accept the Ceann Comhairle has overruled my request for the Minister for Finance to outline the circumstances of how the pre-budget proposals from the Department of Finance were distributed to outside bodies, particularly members of the German Parliament.
