I wish to finish my point. The Minister said that sometimes it is necessary to stoke demand to create supply. Our experience of stoking demand is that it creates higher prices. I reiterate Deputy Doherty's point. In advance of the budget if there are papers or presentations from the Department of Finance that contradict the advice coming from the Central Bank on the point, I ask the Minister to provide them to the committee so that we can see them in advance of the budget.
