Firstly, I note that the Deputy has requested the cumulative level of adjustment in all budgets from 2009. On that basis, the level of adjustment is approximately €30 billion. However, I should point out that significant corrective measures have been implemented since mid-2008. The cumulative level of adjustment including Budget 2014 is almost €31 billion of which circa 60 percent has been on the expenditure side and 40 percent on the revenue side.
