Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am glad Deputy Adams is in good form.

A total of 330 submissions have been received on the budget. We have to put all the pieces of the jigsaw together and put together the best, fairest and most equitable budget according to whatever flexibility exists to channel it where opportunities and jobs can be created. I assure Deputy Adams that there is nothing inherently wrong in the system. It is a strategy that was produced and launched in 2011 and 2012 and has been updated and adjusted to ensure that it caters for changes that have happened since. This area is moving at a bewildering speed and it is only right and proper that there should be that kind of analysis. I hope when the reports are available that if it is necessary to update the committee that will also be done. There is nothing to hide.
