I do not have the reference here, so correct me if I am wrong. In the report the council refers to the measures the Government has introduced since the start of the year which is the €1.1 billion, and then we had the VAT extension, which is about €200 million. The council makes the point that this is less than the bump in tax revenues the State is generating as a result of increased inflation. Is this correct?
