I believe the budgetary strategy that the Government has outlined is the appropriate strategy. Of course, I am absolutely aware of the costs and difficulties many people are facing throughout the summer period. However, the Deputy is aware of all the measures we brought in as the year has progressed and the additional measures brought in by the Ministers, Deputy Humphreys and Foley, to help with the cost of going back to school. That is a large amount of help, but we know that many people need more and we will do our best to provide more when we come back and do our budget in September.
