I know the Minister cannot be definitive now and I have specifically said that, but I have asked for an answer based on the information that is available at the minute. There is a view out there that fiscal space was at €3.2 billion but that when a number of things that have been committed are factored in, the budget space for next year is reduced to something like €500 million. On today's figures, what is uncommitted or not committed? We have budgets saying €3.2 billion of fiscal space. We know that may change in the summer but how much of that is committed at this point?
