What has happened to collective Government responsibility? One is left with the distinct impression that instead of the Taoiseach, at long last, showing some leadership and decisiveness, the Government wants it both ways. It is not obliged to accept every iota of the ESRI report, but it should show some cohesion in its reaction to the plan. Equally, the Government should come forward with an official response, instead of the piecemeal and disjointed reactions we have had to date. Today in the Seanad, we have not had a coherent, comprehensive analysis by the Government of how it intends to respond to the ESRI recommendations. It is a large, good and analytical report. One would imagine, having studied the report for at least a week, the Government would have come forward with some comprehensive response rather than, as the Minister of State continually said in his speech, the recommendations being borne in mind. Bearing them in mind is not good enough. We want to know exactly what the Government is going to do with regard to the recommendations.
