Mr. Padraig Ó Cearbhaill:

This is a technical point that arose in discussion. If the member is in arrears of €1 but is paying €100 per month on an ongoing basis, €1 may arise as arrears on his account. In that case, the sum of €1 is in arrears of more than 90 days. We brought it to the attention of the draughtsman in order to have the matter re-examined.
