Targets and framework of the plan
Noonan asks whether the plan will set specific social and economic targets and means to achieve them. The Taoiseach describes it as a framework for decisions over the next three or four years.
(Limerick East): Is the plan being drawn up on the lines of a plan with specific social and economic targets, together with the means to achieve these targets? Is it a looser type of economic programming rather than planning which would represent the aspirations of the Taoiseach and his party rather than the specific means and ends towards achieving economic development?
Comment on this
It will merely be a plan which will lay down the guidelines and the framework within which economic decisions, financial decisions and social policy decisions will be taken during the next three or four years.
