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

The White Paper comes out at the end because the figures keep changing. If I were to commit to the Deputy to publish the White Paper this week, he would have inaccurate information. People need to have it down to the very end before they have full accurate information. However, there are many other sources of information and the Deputy can have a fairly good estimate of where it is. I will give him as much information as I can in my statement on Friday.
