I want to have an awareness of that situation and ensure that when we complete our budgetary plans that we are in a safe place, one similar to where other countries will be. What is under way now is that the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Michael McGrath, is working to finalise what exactly will be the deficit position when all our current commitments are met. When we are clear on that aspect, any policy choices to stimulate the economy and the initiation of any new policy measures will follow. Those are the two major pieces of work that we will be engaged in for the next week.
