Dr. Kelly has no particular suggestion. That is fine. I am interested in where he came up with the €13.9 billion underlying deficit for 2027. I have previously seen the €6 billion for 2026, taking out the windfall corporation tax. How did he come up with the figure of €13.9 billion? Does he have indications of 2027 expenditure? Does the Central Bank look that far ahead, two years ahead?
