I welcome the Minister's statement that it will be around €1.8 billion or €1.9 billion by 2028. That is still only half the EU average but it is half a step forward from our point of view. Is there a table available, particularly for the next two budgets, which are the remaining budgets of the Thirty-third Dáil? Does the Minister have any idea where he would like to be with the 2024 and 2025 budgets? I would just like some visibility on that. I know it might be hard but the Minister might have a ballpark figure.
