Mr. John Hogan:

I absolutely hear what you are saying on it. I would rarely come in here in and say this is not my area of responsibility. You will not hear that from me but for us to do any sort of economic analysis, we would have to see a detailed proposal. It is fair to say that we have not seen anything yet.

I hear the concerns that you are expressing. My colleague from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform is here. We will take it away and to the extent that we can come back with any information for you, we will.
