Where the money comes from is probably immaterial. The more substantive issue is that we have an overrun in the health service this year of €700 million. Whether it is being funded by a windfall in that regard or is the result of an increase in another tax, it is probably more important that it is there. My fear is that our focus will shift to the source of it when we should have a relentless focus on why there is an overrun of €700 million.
