Go raibh maith agat a Chathaoirligh agus míle buíochas le gach duine a tháinig isteach agus as a gcur i láthair freisin. I have a couple of points. It is quite incredible that the Government has not fully costed the costs of climate change or Sláintecare outside the current year, particularly as these are two large aspects I imagine are going to hoover up a significant amount of funds over the next number of years.

On the national debt, has any work been done on what the expected interest rate increases over the next number of years? How much this will cost in terms of the State funding it on a budgetary basis in the coming years?
