Mr. Tom Moran:

On that last point, I underlined a question put, which is key one, as regards what have we done. I have set that out in the opening statement. We have properly resourced a harbours division in Clonakilty. We have put in proper governance and management structures at individual harbours level. We have a debt recovery unit addressing the debt profile. That debt recovery unit is up and running. As I said at the outset, the debt has remained static. The age profile of the debt now suggests a preponderance of late payers rather than of non-payers. The system is in place and working. As pervades all the questions, there is a definitely a series of legacy issues that are tied up in protracted difficult legal issues. We had difficulties in terms of legal resourcing involving the CSSO and ourselves but that has been addressed.

The Deputy asked about the next report. He will see a dramatic improvement in that because we have paid great attention to this. I am not for one moment suggesting that the detail that is in this, which has been commented on and in respect of which recommendations have been made by the Comptroller and Auditor General, is totally acceptable, but we have put in structures to deal with it.
