On a serious note and because the financial constraints under which we are operating arose as a result of tradition in the way matters of accounting and the Estimates process are dealt with, as the Minister stated we should try to make the effort to prorate the 2%. The latter may only be a temporary move and the Minister may be required to revisit this issue. Our discussion of the Revised Estimates should proceed. Unfortunately, I must take the Chair in the Dáil at 1.50 p.m. so I will not be present for much of the debate.
