160. Deputy Dominic Hannigan asked the Minister for Finance if he has considered the proposals being put forward by the graduate entry medicine debt relief campaign in its pre-budget submission; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35280/14]
View answerMy Department has so far received in excess of 500 Pre-Budget Submissions from a wide range of groups and individuals. These are being considered by the relevant officials in the context of Budget and Finance Bill preparation.
I can confirm that submissions on this topic have been received. However, as the Deputy will be aware, it is not the practice of the Minister for Finance to discuss the details of measures which may be under consideration as part of the budget and Finance Bill.
