I appreciate that.

The Minister said earlier that there seems to be a difference of opinion between the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council and the Department on the structural deficit target. Is the Department and the Minister of the view that a structural deficit rate of 0% must be reached by 2018 to meet commitments under the fiscal compact treaty?
