Who is drawing up the plan?

That is a very good question and I am glad the Deputy asked it, as distinct from these other tendentious interjections. There will be a steering subcommittee of the Cabinet responsible for the preparation of the plan—broadly speaking the economic Minister—and working to that subcommittee there will be a steering committee consisting of experts, and there will be various subcommittees dealing with other aspects of it.

Who will draw this together, the Department of the Taoiseach or the Department of Finance?

There will be a steering committee responsible for the plan and they will report to the Cabinet subcommittee and ultimately to the Government.

The Taoiseach will appreciate that somebody will have to physically write it and bring it together. Will that be done in the Department of the Taoiseach or in the Department of Finance? Who is chairing the steering committee?

In so far as they are working directly to the Government, this will be done in the Department of the Taoiseach, but all the relevant economic Departments are contributing to the plan.
