Mr. Derek Moran:

I will give the Deputy the sort of answer I think one of my counterparts in any Department of Finance in any jurisdiction would probably give. We have a set of rules and those rules prescribed a direction. There is a freedom for any Government to make a decision at any point to spend any amount of money but the rules require that we raise the moneys in a way that is sustainable, in other words through a tax or a charge or other channel. We get into debates about fiscal space. Fiscal space is only that piece we can do without going to discretionary revenue measures, without raising taxes.
