Does the Minister stand by the fact that under his proposals as outlined, expenditure as a percentage of GNI* will fall by 2.5% between 2019 and 2023? That is a dramatic decrease in expenditure in this State. It is not credible. Everyone in this room knows that this is not credible. It will not happen.
