Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
I have drawn attention every year to an issue with welfare overpayments. I also felt it appropriate to draw attention to salary and pension overpayments where I saw that the problem appeared to be getting bigger. I felt it was important to get on record some kind of overview of the matter, why it might be getting worse and what controls were being exercised to try to deal with it.
