I welcome that because there is significant public anger. It is important to pursue it and, perhaps, contact Mr. Dukes again. I have a question about growth. Mr. John Moran appeared before the committee yesterday. Much of the commentary appears to forget that Ireland has growth at present, uniquely among similar countries in Europe. However, there appears to be a downward projection for what our growth figures will be. Will that help in the negotiations with respect to the promissory note? At what point does the Minister think the revised growth figures can be made public and how, if at all, will they impact on the budget he is drafting?
