Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Minister is serious about what he said and I do not expect that he will extend the deadline which I expect will be adhered to. The Minister and his Minister of State are focusing on the matter.

The Estimates will be published in advance of the budget. I will ask the Minister for Finance and his Department to confirm to the Deputy when they expect to publish them. I imagine it will be towards the end of November in good time for the budget.
