I am very concerned about a point I raised with Mr. Watt already. If the Central Bank is saying we have a deficit of €11 billion as part of this surge, is that accounted for in the €20 billion we expect to borrow next year? With regard to our banks and capitalisation, is there any risk based on the Covid scenario, or has this been examined? If there is a risk, what is the capital reserve in regard to the €11 billion that is projected? Where does Mr. Watt envisage we will be?
