Mr. John McKeon:
----- when we do go to court on some of these, the judge tells us to go away or the Ombudsman tells us to go away. We need to take a judgment of how much of this debt is recoverable. We did an exercise and we work with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform on it. We got sanction to write off debt and it was not given easily.
