I welcome the witnesses. My first question follows on from the questions raised by the Chairman. Ms Burke referred in her presentation to current expenditure adjustments of €385 million. In response to questioning from the Chairman, she stated that IBEC had no view on where this saving should be made. For me, that diminishes the credibility of the IBEC presentation. Ms Burke also referred in her presentation to income tax reductions and in this regard proposed the termination of the pension levy.
