Mr. Robert Watt:
I had not heard that number. The €11 billion does not relate to the six weeks because it could not. It is too large a number, so it must relate to something else. I will have a look. The two Ministers gave an estimate of the cost the other day. It will add to the deficit. It will be less than 1% for the six weeks.
