Mr. Cody mentioned 2010. Since then nearly €1.8 billion in tax has been written off, which averages out to €250 million a year. In any man's language, or in layman's language, that is a significant amount of money, notwithstanding the increases in tax revenue in the eight year period. In terms of getting that average down and reducing the proportion of tax collectable that is written off, does Mr. Cody have any assessment on whether that level of write-off is acceptable as a percentage of tax collected?
