Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The various elements of legislation to which I have referred are being prepared and will have to be implemented by 1 July. If the ballot is favourable the legislation will implement the proposals that the LRC has already negotiated and agreed. If the measures are not passed in the ballot the Government will have to consider the measures that it needs to take to meet the expenditure targets of €300 million in savings this year and €1 billion in savings by 2015.
