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

The Deputy may recall that following a consultation process on changes proposed to the pay and file dates, I decided not to introduce any change to that regime for 2014. However, given the success of the forecasting process for budget 2014 and the concerns expressed by many stakeholders about the potential disruption that could be caused by such a change, I have decided to leave the dates unchanged for 2015 also.
