That is what Sinn Féin said. That is what the party provided for in its alternative budget which was costed, as Deputy Doherty always says. That is what he provided for and I assume he was being honest when he was engaging with all of the petrol and diesel garage owners across the Border counties. His policy was, and presumably remains, that there should have been full restoration in the month of April. The Government divided that into a two-part restoration. I have given a commitment that I will keep the situation under review in the lead-up to 1 August and will monitor where the market is at that point.
