Ms Mairéad Dolan:

In 2016, we had a cumulative accrual for prompt payment interest and compensation, of which we reversed a substantial amount on the basis that we had no specific evidence the compensation would be paid. We had a derogation granted to us to allow us to put better systems in place for the payment of bills to reverse that compensation element. The element that is in there this year is the prompt payment only. We do not pay any compensation.
