The Government will always monitor economic conditions. I am not in a position to give hypothetical commitments because I do not believe it is fair, but we will be dealing with the finance Bill tomorrow afternoon in the Dáil. It would extend the VAT measure on gas and electricity up to October. We are doing that – the Deputy asked me a question about the cost of living – in recognition of the impact of higher gas and electricity prices on households. We are acting on it tomorrow.
