Mr. Robert Watt:

I am getting there; it was a preamble.

In terms of the dialogue - of course this is based on commentary in the media and I do not think the Government has decided what that will take - I understand from the various comments from Ministers that they want to have a more inclusive discussion about the challenges the country faces and within that no doubt it is very difficult to have discussions about challenges we face without discussing budget issues and budget challenges, and what they mean.

We have set the review for three years and the Departments are working on those allocations. I have no doubt that if there is a process that some Ministers have been debating - a formal process of dialogue - issues around resource allocation will have to be considered.
