To clarify, every Minister for Finance knows that the September returns are crucial. Deputy Chambers knows this as well. We know the importance of corporation tax here. Companies have to file by September. Is he telling this House that he is bringing forward the budget without sight of the September returns? This is what it appears to be. That is fine if he is making that decision but why is he making that decision? That is the question. The Minister is taking us and the public for fools.
