I am informed that today is the second anniversary of the Government's formation. Happy anniversary. The document that accompanied the Government's formation, namely, the programme for Government, contains an unambiguous and easily understandable commitment on page 22. It states: "We will complete and publish a strategy to tackle fuel-poverty." Since that commitment was made in writing to the Irish public two years ago, the period for which fuel allowance is payable has been drastically reduced and allowances to help people who are vulnerable, elderly or in receipt of social welfare payments to pay for their gas, ESB, etc. have also been slashed. Is that the fuel strategy or will a new strategy be produced in the indeterminate future?

The answer to that question is: "No, it is not."

Does that answer the Deputy's question?

When will the new strategy be published?

It was the right answer.

The programme for Government is for the period of the Government, that is, a period of five years.

It will be the end of the term, so.

We just ended the second year after the election of the Government. We have three years to run. We expect to have---

Year five.

There are some things in the programme for Government that we have been unable to do, for example, the review of upward-only rent allowances - we have said that that is because of constitutional difficulties - and a number of others. The answer to Deputy O'Dea's question is: "No, it is not."
