I have two last questions for Mr. Cody about the published settlements. I may have already asked this question, but it was a few years ago. It comes as a surprise to a lot of people when we read the tax settlements published in The Sunday Business Postand realise the money has not necessarily been paid. It is a surprise to a lot of people who assume Revenue has collected the money. I do not expect Mr. Cody to have the details, but for the settlements published for last year, how much did Revenue actually collect? If he has the information, I will take the headline figure, but it would be a useful chart for the committee to receive. I believe 99% of the public assume that if a person's name is in the newspapers having been caught for a sum of €300,000, he or she has actually paid it. The committee has previously established that this is not necessarily the case. Revenue may just have got a judgment against the person concerned and not collected the money. Does Mr. Cody have any information available on the matter?
