Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
My understanding is that these are overpayments that have been recorded and have been attributed to fraud. There is a substantially higher figure of overpayments recorded that are due to, for example, administrative errors or whatever. The specific information in this instance refers to fraud or suspected fraud cases.
