Time was when other Ministers used to make all such announcements outside the House in glorious surroundings. The spring statement will be announced in the Dáil on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. Tuesday will be for the Minister for Finance, the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform and the various Opposition spokespersons. The intention is that the Ministers will hear directly the contributions of the Opposition spokespersons. On Wednesday, both myself and the Tánaiste will speak on this matter. That will continue all day Wednesday here in the House - nowhere else.
