I will help the Minister to come up with a taxation package of approximately €1 billion. The Minister needs €1 billion in new taxation measures in December's budget. I accept that all sides of the House have responsibility to come forward with measures. If the Minister agrees to abort his proposal for a property tax in the budget, I will sit down with him and come up with measures, amounting to €1 billion.
