Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

It is the total recorded cost - I can get the outstanding figure for the Deputy. A good chunk of it, some €4.5 million, is covered by bilateral waiver agreements whereby we have agreement not to bill a state, for example the UK, specifically. The Deputy will see in the appropriation account a large amount, some €220 million, which is the annual payment in recent years from the UK to the Irish health system. These agreements, which the Department of Health manages, mean we do not have to chase individual states with bills for a large chunk of people. For the rest, however, we do need to improve our processes to bring the collection period up to date. We have done significant work on this but we have not finished.
