The Deputy can if he wishes, but that is the truth in terms of where we are getting the money. It will be a problem.
With regard to the environment fund and landfill levies, I have set out over a three-year period what the landfill levies will be, but the Deputy can take it that the environment fund is decreasing in terms of the amount of money we have available for purposes for which we would like to have it available, including in Deputy Catherine Murphy's area of Kerdiffstown and similar areas, where we have many challenges in regard to landfill remediation.
