I answered Deputy McGrath's question because the issue he raised will be addressed at the Eurogroup meeting. The issue about which Deputy Doherty inquired will not be addressed at the Eurogroup meeting because it is not on that agenda either. What I am trying to say to the Deputy is that if we are to have fruitful discussions at these meetings, where the Deputies and I exchange information on a regular basis each quarter and the committee members are briefed by officials before every meeting of ECOFIN and the Eurogroup, we need to do it in an orderly fashion. If Deputy Doherty wants a Punch and Judy show about other issue, I do not think this is the forum.
