That is very helpful. If we scroll down to the next page, what the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council representative said was that measures to deal with the cost of a no-deal, hard Brexit should be accommodated as far as possible. Mr. Seamus Coffey said: "The council has repeatedly criticised the Government’s medium-term plans for not being credible." He goes on to say, as I said, that that accommodation of a no-deal Brexit might mean a tax-raising as well as a spending measure. That is how I read it.
