Just to clarify on the budget issue, obviously we all know of hundreds of examples of Governments accepting amendments to legislation on Committee Stage, but the specific question related to budget preparations. Again, not wishing to know the identity of Ministers or even the specific issue, in practice, do Government representatives return from the Dáil or parliamentary committees and say, "God, that was an excellent suggestion. We have to do that and change what we had planned to do."?
