Baineann an cheist seo leis na díospóireachtaí atá ar siúl sa Bhruiséil ó thaobh na expenditure benchmark rules. The Fiscal Advisory Council's report on the rules issued this morning, which will be a helpful addition in terms of the Minister's negotiations with his European partners. Could he outline to the House the status of the talks and the impact on the budget if the expenditure benchmark rule is changed, as this country has requested? What leeway would it give on expenditure?
