Ms Kathleen Stack:
In terms of our outstanding debt, and we are talking about individuals rather than employers, at the end of October we have a little more than 156,000 debts and €475 million in value. As the Secretary General mentioned, we divide them between on-book - people who are still getting a payment from us each week - and a number of off-book people as well. In terms of value, we have approximately 60% who are off-book and 40% who are on-book. If the €475 million is broken down, approximately €191 million is on-book and €284 million is off-book.
