Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
For the information of the Deputy, on the point about the Aughinish Alumina case, the first direction of the European Commission was in 2005. There was a subsequent direction in 2007 and a total of €14.5 million has been recovered from Aughinish Alumina. In fact, over the time, it has gone over and back, and the money has been repaid and repaid again as the decisions went for and against the State. It is not a very satisfactory position.
