I take it there have been discussions at Council of Ministers meetings in regard to the Irish use of GNI*. I understand Deputy Cullinane's argument on GDP. Having this bespoke measurement is well and good at official level. However, has it been discussed at Council of Ministers meetings? Have they agreed that GDP is the official position but the GNI* figure will also be considered because Ireland is a unique case? Has that been discussed at the Council of Ministers?

Yes.
