Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Economic Expansion Investment Needs.
14.
Mr. O'Leary
I would refer the Deputy to paragraph 63 of the Second Programme for Economic Expansion Progress Report for 1965 which states that, in the light of progress to date and of the required growth rates for the remainder of the period, studies are now being made of the main targets of the Programme, including investment and savings.
Are they being made by astrologers or soothsayers?
By practical men.
Mr. O'Leary
Can the Minister say when he expects the survey to be completed?
In the course of a couple of months, I would say. I have not got the exact date.
After the Presidential election?
It depends on whether they are astrologers or soothsayers.
