If the Deputy will bear with me for a moment, I will ask my officials to get the information on how much has been repaid. As to whether any companies have indicated an intention to do that again in the future, I am not currently aware of it. I should emphasise - I know the Deputy will be aware of this - that would be something they would indicate to the Revenue Commissioners rather than to me.
I now have the information. To date, 402 employers have repaid all of the subsidies in full. The value of that is €52 million. Some 3,331 employers have made partial repayments, which is approximately €54 million. Overall, €106 million has been repaid, with 3,500 employers involved.
