I understand the increase of 4%. That is fine. If the figure was €90 million, €85 million or €80 million I would still have the same question. How does the Minister arrive at that figure? Do the sectors come and look for a specific figure? Has the Minister given them exactly what they have looked for? Have they looked for more and has he given less? How was the figure of €95 million arrived at for this year?
