asked the Taoiseach on what date it is proposed to introduce the Budget.

The date for the introduction of this year's Budget has not yet been fixed. The Dáil will be informed as soon as a decision has been reached.

Can the Taoiseach guarantee there will be no mini-Budget prior to the introduction of the Budget?

Could the Taoiseach give an approximate time?

I would not like to give an approximate time.

Even the name of the month?

No.

Before or after Easter?

I can say it will hardly be before.
