I will be more distinct. A debate is happening outside the Houses. The trade union movement through ICTU, IBEC on behalf of the business groups and almost every other group is saying that the fiscal rules in respect of capital spending are not fit for purpose. The Committee on Budgetary Oversight will publish a report that will say the same. What is the Department that is responsible for capital spending doing about it? How has it engaged with its sister Department - the Department of Finance - and the European Commission?
