The Comptroller and Auditor General points out that in the period from 2013 to 2018, we received €367 million. The chart on page 131 of his report indicates that approximately €140 million of it was received in 2018. Mr. Carroll just spoke about the €430 million that was received in carbon tax last year. From the point of view of the Committee of Public Accounts, the departmental officials are here for one purpose primarily. We raised €430 million last year in carbon tax. Ireland received €140 million on the emission trading scheme. Am I correct?
