I am seeking clarification from Mr. Barnes on a particular point. In response to my initial questioning, he said the IFAC is expecting a surplus of €4.2 billion rather than €1.2 billion, which I calculate as a difference of €3.3 billion. However, he indicated that within that €1.2 billion, the Government is bringing forward €2.5 billion of temporary measures. Is that correct?
