Mr. John Kinnane:

If I could add to that, an important part of this process of managing is not just about the incremental piece. I know we are looking at the €1.8 billion but that is being added to a €74.5 billion base, so we are looking at €76 billion for ELS before there is a new budget measure.

That is why the ongoing analysis through the Irish Government Economic and Evaluation Service, IGEES, and the spending review process looking at the effectiveness and efficiency of spending are important; because of the incremental piece. One of the moving parts within this whole ELS discussion is what efficiencies can be driven within the existing base to ensure there is sustainability over the long term. There has to be a critical analysis and the work we do through spending reviews and the IGEES supports that.
