A final brief question from Deputy De Rossa.

In view of the fact that this House debated the Programme for National Recovery prior to its implementation and that it is due to expire approximately this time next year, will the Taoiseach allow the House to have a debate on the programme, not necessarily in this session but perhaps in the next? Will he also indicate whether it is intended to initiate discussions for a renewal of this programme for a further period of years?

I would be quite prepared to facilitate the House at some stage along those lines. As I have stated on a number of occasions, we are very anxious to start discussions with a view to having a second programme to take over from this one when it expires.
