I heard that last week and the week before, but is there a risk of an echo chamber and of that information not being out in the public sphere as it should be? Is there an issue with getting that information out? Mr. Madouros has given the information here and I have heard it over the last couple of weeks but does he feel it translates abroad? Ultimately, political decisions are made with a budget and how that might impact on some of my colleagues who might not be in the Government parties in mind. In fairness, the Taoiseach spoke earlier about how some of them might feel we should give this, that and the other based on what is windfall revenue currently. Does Mr. Madouros feel there is a risk that we are not getting that information out to the public? Is that view not out and known abroad the way it should be?
