Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

That is a pity. Where will the €160 million come from? Is somebody currently making money on shares or the disposal of property, or on something I do not know about? I would like to hear the Minister or the Tánaiste tell us where those particular figures came from.

The increase for bills of exchange and cheque books is, I suppose, neither here nor there. Some of us still use them. We are sorry if we are not up with the information age. It seems we will pay the price.
