It is too early to be able to give the Deputy confirmation of that. The Minister, Deputy Michael McGrath, and I are meeting the Ministers with responsibility for different sectors and I am also meeting representatives of many of these sectors directly. I meet those who work on the front line in the different sectors regularly to hear what it is like working in the various parts of our economy at the moment. I cannot give the Deputy the detail of anything we might be able to do yet for the sectors to which he referred. Clearly, however, in preparing for the budget we are aware that some parts of our economy and country are not recovering at the same speed as the other parts. That is evident to all of us. We are trying to assess what we can do that will be of help to the economy at the moment and that will form a big part of what we will do on budget day.
