Okay. So I want to ... Because I'm putting it to you that you've said that far from increasing expenditure, you did the opposite, right? So I want to make this point and can you answer, please, the point I'm making and if you need clarification in terms of the question I'm putting, maybe seek it. Do you accept from the four numbers that is on your screen from the Fine Gael election manifesto that Fine Gael were planning to increase expenditure at twice the rate of what the projected growth was in the economy, which was in line with what the previous Government had done in the previous five years where they increased expenditure at twice the rate of what growth was in the economy?
