I again thank the Minister. By way of a final supplementary, is the Minister satisfied Ireland's interests are best served, notwithstanding the comments made by some well-known commentators to the effect that questions are being raised about the manner in which we measure our economic performance that suggest there is a doubt? I do not believe there is. We have accurately reflected what needs to be reflected at this particular time. This is especially so in view of the fact we are an open economy in a highly competitive arena and every measure must be used to serve the country to the best possible ends.
This must continue because we have a debt and it will remain with us for some time.
