Mr. McCarthy and his officials are welcome. I seem to remember that the first time he appeared before us the household charge, which was the local property tax subsequently, and what percentage of that would be channelled back into local government arose as an issue. There was a bit of debate nationally. The figure that was bandied about at the time was approximately 85% or 90%. According to Mr. McCarthy, the hope was that 85% would be thrown back into local government generally. Of the funds collected so far, how much has gone back into local government?
