Benchmarking: Motion.
We must accept that changes have to be made. While it was possible, when benchmarking was being negotiated, to regard €1.2 billion as insignificant in the context of a surplus of €5 billion and to believe people would not notice the purpose for which it was being allocated, we are now facing tougher economic circumstances. Nobody on the Government side has outlined from where the money will come.
