I will, Chairman. You are very fair. This is the third time I have intervened and we are scheduled to meet until 4.30 p.m. However, this is the budgetary oversight committee and the Minister is putting inaccurate figures on the record. We would not be doing our job as a supposedly serious committee if we did not point out what the Minister is saying. There is no €3 billion available to spend if taxes are cut by €600 million unless taxes are raised somewhere else.
