Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The new strategy was approved by the Cabinet just this week and will be published next week by me and the Minister of State, Deputy Catherine Byrne. I imagine it will be possible to facilitate a debate in September or October after we return. As Deputy Curran said, it is a long-term strategy. I accept the validity of his point that it would be better if we were able to debate strategies in the House in a timely manner, although that would obviously restrict us from publishing any strategies during the recess period. I agree that it would be preferable and more ideal if we were to allow for debate in the House on strategies around the time they are published.
