On where it is going to move to, the figures the Commission has published point to an increase. The Taoiseach has already said we are willing to contribute more than at present. I do have a figure in mind regarding what we would be able to afford and what that level of contribution would be but we are at a very early stage of negotiation and it would be wise for me to point to where our eventual contribution could be given all the policy priorities I am expected to deliver in a really complex negotiation.
