I welcome our guests and thank them for their tremendous work in recent months, in exceptional times. In my limited time, I want to bring their attention to chapter 4 of the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General, which relates to welfare payments in excess of entitlement. The Comptroller and Auditor General states he considers the estimated level of irregular payments in respect of certain schemes paid from the fund to be material and he states overpayments in 2019 of €12.2 million in illness benefit claims arose on the transition to a new illness benefit claims processing system. What was the level of testing before this new claims system became live?
