Mr. Watt said he offered his assistance. He should be telling the Secretary General that this will happen because the weight of public support is behind the Department in getting control of this and it should not be a question of whether the Secretary General feels like taking up Mr. Watt's offer. We are fully agreed on the need to achieve more savings generally. After Mr. Watt's last visit here he sent us a detailed note on his target for savings, which was €305 million for the year, and he hopes to achieve €1 billion in 2016.
