Mr. John McCarthy:

It is a significant amount of money. The total for collection in rates in 2012 was €1.5 billion. The figure of €355 million is obviously an accumulation over a number of years. There would have been write-offs and as well as the emergence of new arrears. We can provide the committee with further details in that regard from the 2012 annual financial statements.
