First Government Meeting Of Autumn Term
The first cabinet meeting of the autumn term will commence today following the shortest summer break for a government in decades.
The Fine Gael and Labour Ministers will gather at Government Buildings later this morning for the meeting, it is the first since July.
It is expected that the legislative programme for the forthcoming Dail term will be discussed. In addition the ministers are expected to talk of the increasing mortgage arrears problem.
The countdown to Budget 2012 is also stepping up a gear with savings of at least €3.6 billion to be achieved.
So it is expected that today’s meeting will contain at least some debate about the estimates process and the ongoing progress of the comprehensive review of Government expenditure, which are due for completion shortly.
The Cabinet held its final meeting on July 26th before breaking for a 5-week recess. It was the shortest summer break for a government here in decades.
The meeting today at Government Buildings will mark the start of the autumn term for the Fine Gael and Labour Ministers although the Dail itself will not resume for another 2 weeks.
