Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

Most employers, including the Houses we are sitting in, will end up making settlements larger than ours proportionately. It has to be looked at in that context. If we go back to 2017, when we started this, the figure was a multiple of that, and it has reduced progressively every year since. The largest single figure in that is €1.274 million in employment taxes, and then construction taxes, as I would describe them, at €400,000. The interest figure, and there is no penalty, has dropped from being as high as €2.2 million five or six years ago to being €104,000. Again, we would like the figure to be zero, but if we were compared with most public bodies, including this House, the HSE would emerge rather favourably.
