Pádraig Rice (Cork South-Central, Social Democrats)

The Deputy's time is up.

There is clearly a difference of perspective on the question of transparency around budgets and funding between Deputy Cullinane and the Minister. It is perhaps something that we need to examine again and maybe come back with a more dedicated session on it to try to get that transparency that members are looking for. I know in my own case from asking questions about some areas of the budget that there is a lack of clarity or transparency. I take the Minister's point that there is a change in how the budget is operating this year. Perhaps it is one we may need to a dedicated session to try to get that kind of clarity, understanding and that level of transparency that is required.

Our next slot is Fine Gael. I call Deputy Burke.
