Donie Cassidy (Fianna Fail)

Senators Fitzgerald, O'Toole, Alex White, Boyle, Norris, Ormonde, Coffey, Hanafin, Bacik, Ó Brolcháin, Coghlan, Walsh, Buttimer, Mooney, Mullen and Donohoe referred to the EU-IMF programme for national recovery. I intend to hold an all-day debate on Thursday and I will discuss the timeframe with the leaders after the Order of Business. My intention is that the debate will roll over. Almost every Member will want to make a contribution on this historic document. The deal will be part of the budget which will be discussed in and voted on by both Houses.
