Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

I think there may be an element of policy in that, but, in terms of the contract, it seems to me that this is an overpayment. It is a non-contractual payment. The figure over the three years, for the record, would be €1.5 million. An analogy concerns when traffic collapsed as a result of Covid. At that time, additional payments had to be made by the State because tolls coming into the companies were not at the threshold level.
