I want to talk about the facts. There was a budget surplus in 2008 and an even bigger surplus in 2007. The overall spend of €61.8 billion in 2008 is exactly same as the overall spend of €61.8 billion this year. Those are facts. It is also a fact that the slice of the cake being given to the Gaeltacht and the Irish language is absolutely minuscule compared to when we were in government. That is a fact.
