Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

The percentage is small. If it was 1% on a gross basis, it would be of concern. When a percentage is so small, the anomalies from year to year are likely to throw up something like it. I am not be too concerned that it is slightly above some of the figures. The figures we have quoted in the chapter are for a very small selection of countries. Internationally, there is not that much information available. One would need a broader spread of countries presenting this type of information which has to be built up. To me, watching the figure from year to year would I think yield value for the committee.
