I ask Mr. Mulvany to send the committee a detailed note as to how this arose. I can only go on the figure provided, which is €869,000. I do not know what figure Mr. Mulvany is referring to.

On page 175, the report states the HSE carried out significant self-review of tax compliance in respect of 2016 with external tax assistance, which was completed in 2017. This, it adds, resulted in an underpayment of tax identified in the course of the self-review. No figure is given for the underpayment. Was it so small that it should not have been mentioned or does the reference to it indicate it is significant? How much was it and in what category is it?
