As the Deputy will be aware, the Budget is presented to the Oireachtas, in advance of its submission to the European Commission, before the 15th October deadline each year. In practice, Budget Day has taken place over the past number of years on a day, as agreed upon by Government, during the first half of October and I expect this year to be no different.
The date on which the Budget will be presented to the Oireachtas will be a matter for the Government to decide and as yet, no such decision has been made. I will liaise with my counterpart, Minister McGrath on the matter and propose a date to Government in due course.
