Michael Noonan (Limerick City, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

As the Deputy is aware, there is a new budget timeline. The budget will have to be introduced some time around the middle of October and therefore I would need the Bill to be fairly well drafted before the summer recess. They have only just started working on it and therefore I cannot give the Deputy a more precise timeline, but the timeline I would like is to get it done before the summer.
