They are the only two sectors. We had the conversation last year about the ratio of debt. That ratio changed because of a quite dramatic increase in GDP. If I remember correctly the Department expressed surprise at that. Has the Department figured out what really happened? The Central Statistics Office is responsible for producing the figures. Is this change accounted for and does the Department understand why it happened? Is there a risk of the reverse happening? Is it on the Department's risk register with regard to the stability of the economy?
