Budget changes and the plan

Summary

Kelly asks whether budget changes will be reflected in a rolling plan. The Taoiseach responds with criticism of Kelly’s former Government, which Kelly disputes.

Are the planners having an easy time preparing this plan when they find the Government making very major alterations in their budget proposals, with severe deficit implications? In other words, is it a rolling plan to take account of these U-turns?

Comment on this

I find that interjection — because it is more an interjection than a question—very interesting considering Deputy Kelly was a member of a Government which put a budget before the people and then proceeded to alter it in every major detail during the course of the general election campaign and subsequently.

That is not so.
