Ivor Callely (Fianna Fail)

On occasion, these may be very difficult and daunting tasks and there could be easier options. I am satisfied the Minister for Finance took the correct decisions yesterday and I look forward to tomorrow's debate.

Will the Leader clarify one issue which is very important? I welcome the national treasury management model being used with regard to bank debts but will the Leader clarify the position regarding the multi-year fiscal consolidation strategy and the time involved in the strategy?
