Can the Minister of State tell me whether "soon" is before Christmas, before Easter or before this time next year?...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Tenant Purchase Scheme (6 Oct 2020)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Minister of State did not tell me when the review was completed. A review was completed. The Minister of State did not give me the definition of the magic word in the English language, "soon".
