Mr. John McCarthy:
I think that when the Taoiseach was referring to hidden fiscal space, he was talking about the total quantum of expenditure - the €58 billion rather than just the incremental amount - and he made reference to the comprehensive review of spending that is under way to identify efficiencies. This is where we might find hidden fiscal space.
