It is possible to go back to the national recovery plan, the programme for Government and the Government parties' manifestoes at the previous general election. However, recognising that the State now has savings of in excess of €1 billion as a result of the deal on the promissory notes, we are all in a different position. If we were drafting documents at the moment, the Minister of State and I would probably have two different documents. I am disappointed that the Minister of State has not been able to estimate that the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport will benefit in some way resulting in our citizens benefiting from the savings.
