We have made the point and it is one we all have to watch. I want to move to page 78 of the accounts, where I find one set of figures interesting, although we are not talking about billions. It is in regard to non-Exchequer receipts collected on the behalf of other Departments, agencies or EU member states. I found a few figures of interest. I have three questions. Revenue collected €2.6 million on the health levy, which was abolished in 2011. Seven years on, how is it that money is still being collected? I know the money is due but how is it out there for seven years without being collected? I presume Revenue collected some money on it this year as well.
