Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 6 July 2023
188. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Minister for Finance if he can confirm whether he has received the pre-Budget 2024 submission from an organisation (details supplied); if the submission is receiving due consideration given the organisation’s vital role within our communities; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33222/23]
View answerIn advance of the Budget, 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 the pre-Budget submission to which the Deputy refers was received Thursday 29 June and acknowledged on Friday 30 June.
The contents will be considered in the context of the forthcoming Budget and the Deputy will be aware that 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.
