My argument here is that we need to get somewhere closer to between €120 and €92. I do not agree that making that move will do what the Minister of State is saying it will do, namely, scare the horses and drive people out of this country. Counter to the Minister of State's argument is the moral obligation to go further here and be fair and, as a consequence of that, raise greater revenues that can go into the pockets of people in need. I am glad the Minister of State confirmed that it is €92.
