The witnesses will find that the political will is there to do this. We obviously understand where we are with it. It was said that businesses did not get anything yesterday in the budget apart from the reduction in the VAT rate for the hospitality. We did, if we think about the extra money gone into infrastructure, power and Irish Water. That is a plus and something Ms Burke reiterated in what she said.
