I wish to speak about a different matter, the recently released annual competitiveness review. Out of the 15 developed countries, Ireland and Finland are now the most expensive. We are fourth highest in insurance, third highest in electricity cost, third highest in landfill cost and, once the local authority estimates are completed, I would not be surprised if we move to the top in landfill costs.
