I should have noted earlier that apologies have been received from Deputy Paul McAuliffe. As Deputies Hourigan, Colm Burke and Carthy are not here I will proceed with some of my own questions. There will be plenty of time for people to come back in. I ask the witnesses to note that.

I want to address a question to Dr. Quinn about late payment penalties. I was intrigued by the penalty incurred as part of the prompt payment legislation. There was one transaction where a total of €27,000 was paid in both interest and compensation for late payment. What was the size of that bill to begin with?
