Like if we think about, you know, if we want to improve equality, this is a very unequal, like the tax, reducing this tax anything is going to benefit those who are already quite wealthy, which is essentially Leo Varadkar's point.

And I was at the National Economic Dialogue as a rapporteur this year, and that was a theme that emerged across health care.

We mentioned nursing homes in that piece today in the papers.

And, you know, those multi and from the charity and the voluntary sector as well.

So, you know, multi-annual funding allows them to plan, allows them to better plan

finance things year on year.

And it is something that has been lacking in in government budgets year on year.

And it's something that the Fiscal Advisory Council have been saying, you know, we need to have more than this short termism.

We need to have these longer term plans.

And and to do that, we need proper.

funding streams in place and we need proper taxation to do that too.

Yeah, I don't know if the framing itself is very helpful.

And I think what's really clear here is that Jim O'Callaghan should have engaged with representative bodies before making sweeping changes.

But I think that piece from Matt Cooper, you know, does also outline some of the examples of why this reform they, you know, he felt was was needed because.

You know, you've got examples there such as like free legal aid cases where there's 14,000 euro fee paid for a single brothel keeper, 31,000 single appearance fee paid for someone on money laundering charges.

And I think Gary Murphy also has a nice piece in the Sunday Times that sort of highlights the public concern around free legal aid.

It's a complex supply chain.

And yeah, what we do know is that there's no evidence either way is what the government has found.

But, you know, the data does, as Dan rightly said, so it was 23% of their exports went to Russia in 2020.

It's 68% last year.
