In 2016, €5.2 million was written off and €4.9 million in the previous year. This is a small reduction. It is hugely damaging to the operation that people who pay and comply get one outcome while those who do not can get away with it. While 97% sounds great, the fact is that this involves millions of euro. What steps is TII taking to get some of this money back? I understand if, say, Johnny Murphy does it once or twice. However, significant commercial companies and certain categories of people are not complying all the time. One example given was of somebody who did it at least 300 times. What is TII doing about this?
