My point was just about timing. The Minister has heard about IFAC's critique from other colleagues. There are no two ways about it, that IFAC has taken off its gloves on 2019. Other members have commented on how it says it is not conducive to prudent economic and budgetary management, how it is not consistent with prudent budgetary management, that medium budgetary plans are not credible and it goes on and on. Does the Minister dispute the specific charges Professor Coffey and his team are making about budget 2019.
