I think the witnesses must acknowledge this because there was no emphasis on chasing overpayments in the past because it was not worth the Department's while given it could only claim back €2 per week, the Department is now finding that the records are sometimes not great and there are old records in some of its branch offices around the country. That is a matter in respect of which there needs a good paragraph when the Department writes to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform regarding what is being collected because I have come across several cases the regional office said to go back to the branch office. I think the witnesses know the circle.
