I do not agree with the way in which sections 25 and 26 have been drafted, the reason being the considerations that have been stipulated, again by the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council. All you have to do is have regard to them. Again, it fails to deal with, for example, the issue of infrastructure or housing deficits in determining its consideration. I just wanted to make that point as to why I have a concern about this section and the previous one.
