Mr. John Dunne:

I agree with Mr. Harty. I suspect at the end of the day there will be a compromise between the two figures and we will be happy with that. The €440 million cut for social protection is unsustainable. The urgency of the existing reforms is inadequate. They are moving in the right direction but not quickly enough. That is why it is frustrating to be asked about further cuts. Because areas that need to be reformed are not being reformed far enough, the Government will subsidise that delay out of the front line, and it means we will take a hit. That is where we have a difficulty.
