Mr. Seamus Coffey:

Absolutely, yes. The directive sets out various tasks a fiscal council should be able to do. One is an assessment of the domestic fiscal framework. We would like to see that framework. Another is the assessment of the medium-term expenditure plan. It also includes an expansion of access to information and of the comply or explain principle, where we would have more rigorous interaction with the Government on fiscal policy. We can say these things.
