Question 88: To ask the Minister for Finance if he has received the pre-budget submission by an organisation (details supplied); his views on implementing any of the issues raised in this document; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44031/09]

I have received a pre Budget submission from the organisation in question. It is policy to review all pre Budget submissions as part of the budgetary process. I would draw to the Deputy's attention that it is the usual practice for the Minister for Finance not to speculate or comment in advance of the Budget on what it will contain and I do not propose to deviate from that practice.
