I acknowledge that. I acknowledge that not all of the €750 million that is owed or meant to be owed to local authorities by developers or people going about development will have materialised. What I have not been able to establish since March is whether we have an idea of how much of it did materialise? In other words, if I go to build a conservatory today and issue a commencement notice, I am expected to pay my development levy up front. I understand that in the context of encouraging businesses and development, local authorities arranged for phased payments of development levies with developers. It is important to establish how much is officially due where development took place but the levies have not been paid.
