It is, and it is on the record of the Dáil. If the Leas-Cheann Comhairle allows me to do so, I will explain my comment. On the record of the Dáil, the Government told us it was taking away the 1 cent NORA levy. In a press release last week, it said it would not do that. Every month, 380 million l of fuel comes into the country. A 1 cent levy on each litre equates to €3.8 million in taxpayers' money the Government said it was going to give back. It did not give it back. It said it would do so on the record, and is now not doing so. That, to me, is a lie. That is what I am reflecting on. It is a lie.
