I will make a quick point on the previous question. Last year, we did not have a summer economic statement or a fiscal framework. We were in truly extraordinary circumstances, so this year I hope the information we have been able to provide to the committee is more meaningful and helpful. We have a degree of more certainty.

With regard to secretarial assistants, is the Deputy referring to secretarial assistants in the Oireachtas?
