As Minister for Finance, I receive a large number of pre-budget submissions on a wide range of issues. All submissions are acknowledged by my Department on receipt.
I can confirm that the pre-Budget submission to which the Deputy refers was received from numerous sources. Each receipt was acknowledged, with the first acknowledgement issuing on Wednesday, 6 September 2023.
The contents will be considered in the context of the forthcoming Budget, however, as the Deputy will be aware, it is a longstanding practice of the Minister for Finance not to comment in advance of the Budget on any matters that might be the subject of Budget decisions.
