Donie Cassidy (Fianna Fail)

I allocated time yesterday for a wide-ranging debate on the economy. Anyone would understand that yesterday Members had an opportunity to express their opinions on the document that was launched in Dublin Castle before the Christmas recess. I know some colleagues took that opportunity and I thank them for it. The Dáil has the same opportunity to do so today and tomorrow. The ICTU and the social partners participating were expressing their views this morning. The Government has a wide-ranging consultation process taking place on this.
