Ms Niamh O'Donoghue:
I am sorry. They were not. I beg the Chairman's pardon. The answer to the Chairman's question is "none". It takes five or six years to finalise cases in the redundancy and insolvency payment scheme. There is a feed from the redundancy and insolvency system into our new debt recovery system that did not exist previously. The same kinds of norm will apply where we can recover debt.
