The Minister has done that and we can discuss the details of that further. I accept that those are there.

There is €1 billion of savings to be made in 2015. How much of it - the Minister need not answer today - would he attribute to the Haddington Road agreement? A big element of it, as he mentioned, €170 million, is a backdrop of decreasing staff numbers. That is the targeted redundancy programme which is not part of the Haddington Road agreement. There is nothing in the agreement about targeted redundancy and in a way, that is a Government decision.
