A Cheann Comhairle-----

I did not see Deputy O'Dea there. I am sorry.

The invisible man. The Taoiseach will be aware that there has been a great deal of speculation about changing or renegotiating the programme for Government or producing a new one, to which speculation he has contributed. Looking randomly at the current programme for Government-----

We are not going through that now, Deputy.

Not all of it.

I will not go through it.

We go through promised legislation.

There is a commitment to a tenancy deposit protection scheme, a commitment to allowing local authorities to issue social housing bonds, a commitment to establishing a civilian corps and a commitment to local authorities establishing older persons councils. This is just a random sample. I will not even refer to the strategic investment bank and various other issues. Is it the Government's intention to fulfil these commitments before it renegotiates the programme or produces a new one?

The programme for Government has already been agreed by the Government. The Deputy is quoting from the 10% that is not actually implemented.

No, the 90%.

Deputy O'Dea is aware that the Government published its medium-term economic strategy following the exit from the bailout programme.

I could go through another few issues tomorrow.

It is in there that, obviously, we have to look at priorities as to how Government can manage in the fairest way possible both to continue stability in the country, grow our economy, provide jobs-----

The strategic investment bank is an example.

-----and, at the same time, understand the message here from the people that they have had a long series of challenges, which were necessary to take-----

It was not necessary to cut respite care grants.

-----but they want now to see some return on the difficulties that they have encountered. That is always the balance, Deputy O'Dea.

Within the medium-term economic strategy, that is where Government will focus on what can be done, what is the priority that should be done, in order to give people a sense of confidence and hope that, after all the challenges, the country is actually moving to a better place.

I thought the Government was supposed to do it all. It is in the programme for Government.

Yes; 90% of it is implemented.
