As the Deputy will appreciate, it is not the practice to comment in the lead up to the annual budget and Finance Bill on the intention or otherwise to make changes in taxation.

I have received a submission from the Teachers Union of Ireland requesting that €50 million funding be provided for implementing the McIver Report. I will consider this submission with the many other submissions I receive, in the context of the forthcoming budget. I will present budget 2006 to the Dáil on 7 December 2005. As is normal, I will not comment on the contents of the budget in advance of that date.
