I thank an Aire for that. Deputy Lahart asked a few questions that I was interested in. I will ask a few different questions and then I might tease out further some of the points Deputy Lahart raised. The Irish Fiscal Advisory Council, IFAC, recently noted that the tax revenue appears more buoyant than in the summer economic statement. As a result, does the Minister expect a lower deficit than was anticipated in the summer economic statement?
