I accept that this was before Mr. Watt's time. That €32.5 million is taxpayers' money being spent, not to mention the €453 million in redress, based on someone making a mistake and putting charges on people that were ultra vires. Therefore, it should never have arisen. Is that not the case? It is very simple. Somebody made a mistake and that is the cost to the State. Is that not right?
