Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

——at present, but this is all we can see. This is the only calculation that will have the authority of the House, apart from another scheme. I am sure the Minister will answer the query later. There is a question mark over this matter and we must hear if this is only to be a temporary approach, and if there is to be another approach we need to hear what that will be. As a temporary measure perhaps it satisfies the Minister for Finance, but as a permanent measure it does not satisfy me. We need to hear more on this matter.
