That is similar to his earlier question about superiority and inferiority and he should consider how I answered it. Each Minister who comes to me is highly realistic in what he or she seeks for his or her Department. They all are aware of the issues and social matters to which the Deputy has referred and all of them are doing their very best to try to make progress within the Department for which they are responsible. While they all are realistic, putting all of it together creates a need for resources any Government would struggle to meet. I am trying, with the funding available to me, to do my best to make progress on the priorities Ministers raise with me. That is what I am trying to do.
