Amharc ar fhreagra78 Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Finance if the planned new multi-annual fiscal plan due to be published with the pre-budget outlook in October will deal with the period January 2012 to December 2014 or the period January 2012 to December 2015; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 77 and 78 together.
The Pre-Budget Outlook will be published in October although a precise date has not yet been set. The revised economic and fiscal forecasts which will be contained in the Pre-Budget Outlook will take account of the latest available data including the CSO's Quarter Two National Accounts and the end-September Exchequer Returns. The multi-annual fiscal projections which will be published in the Pre-Budget Outlook will cover the period 2012 to 2015.
