Very good. We are all into consensus at the moment. The fact is that taxes are just short of €500 million ahead of target at the moment. The ordinary person is under enormous financial pressure. The sum of €2 billion is significant. Did the council not factor into its considerations the fact that the economy is doing well and there is employment growth?
