On cherished licence plate numbers, 177 people paid the extra €1,000 to get a certain number. They have little to be doing. In any case, we will move on to other matters.
There has been a lot of talk about Brexit. Deputy McGrath referred to the fiscal space this year. The Minister suggested that, in regard to Brexit, it will not alter anyway. It may alter because of the new data but there will be no significant alteration as a result the Brexit vote. The Minister mentioned it is unlikely to alter until the medium term. While we hold the view that there will be no alteration this year as a result of the decision by the English and Welsh to withdraw from the European Union, what about next year? Could there be an alteration in regard to the net fiscal space available for 2018?
