I appreciate that but nonetheless there is a 20% cut against a background of a very low level of overall expenditure. I am very conscious of this as I come from County Kildare, where the military are of particular significance. There is concern that arising from the Minister's recent negotiations with the British Government there was a suggestion that the Irish Defence Forces would be getting second-hand equipment from the British army. Is that not correct?
