Mr Magooo I know you are coming off the cigs so I'll take it easy.

1.3bn is what we were cutting from the public service pay bill, this has resulted in strikes, go slows, passports not being issued etc.
We have also cut social welfare, health, dental treatment etc, etc
1.3bn is not a small amount if you have to borrow it yourself to give it + you may as well bring it to the hill of tara and light a bonfire with it as pour it into a basket case that is Greece
