Ms Michelle Murphy:

Obviously, the full-year cost is €714 million but it would be paid for mainly by standard rating the tax break, which at the last calculation was over €600 million, so you must make up the difference. We have made our proposals here but we have those proposals as well so we are updating the cost based on the new census projections.
