Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Taoiseach ENDA KENNY speaks to Ger Leddin about the CSO figures released the week before and whether the figures will have a bearing on the 2013 budget.

The Taoiseach says that, while the figures are encouraging, they will have very little bearing on the budget. Mr Kenny also says that the country is “in the business of zero inflation”.

Ger asks about Shane Ross’s statement on the progress of the banking enquiry. Mr Kenny replies that this is not a government inquiry but an Oireachtas matter and so out of his jurisdiction.
