Does Mr. Watt have any idea of where we can make savings? Will the number of home help hours be cut or perhaps we will not renew some Garda cars? Will we cut social supports or community schemes? Savings have to be identified somewhere, savings which the Departments were not able to identify last year. Last week, public sector workers were notified of an increase under a pay deal which will be welcome. Where is the money coming from? Surely there are officials working on where that money will be found.
