I do not think it is helpful to pick out any one part of the different needs we have to consider or which have a particular focus for me. I am looking at an array of different matters. At many opportunities in the past, I have indicated the concerns I had regarding some incentives we had in place in our property market and the long-term effect of that. I still have that view. At the same time, we need to ensure more homes are built in Ireland. I have €1.5 billion overall available for new tax measures and I am not going beyond that. I am working with our colleagues in government on the individual measures to make that up.
