It is €25 billion; I apologise. That is why it does annoy me. I think the euro is very cruel. I know we have to draw a line somewhere, but it keeps coming up.

If you go through the representations from Members of the Oireachtas and how many responses have been sent back - a single euro - it is so mean. It is wrong.
