Mr. Robert Watt:

For the sake of ease, let us say that we have saved €1 billion by the end of 2014, so each year thereafter €1 billion will be off the pay bill compared to where we would otherwise have been. What that means over Deputy McDonalds time horizons can then be figured out. Let us say that by the end of 2014 and the beginning of 2015 the pay bill will be €1 billion lower than would otherwise be the case if we implement all the measures. I know that is hard when reading out figures for people to jot them all down and it is a bit complicated, so perhaps we will circulate the summary table I have which sets out the different components.
