On 21 October, the Minister for Finance stated he was looking forward to the fiscal assessment report. Statements were held in the House at the time, and the matter is No. 48 on the Order Paper. Will the Taoiseach put time aside as soon as possible for these statements to be resumed?

That report now questions the expenditure figures outlined in the comprehensive expenditure report and questions the predicted revenue figures outlined in the budget. I am not sure if the Minister is happy with the final outcome of that report, particularly since he was looking forward to it. As a result of the mistakes made here, certain systems were put in place to avoid a recurrence. This was one of the mechanisms. The Government appears to have ignored the advice of the committee. Will the Taoiseach allow time for statements on the issue next week?
