Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
Because of the way the system is set up and because of the way the legislation is framed, the penalties were automatically applied even though it was not necessarily the fault of the landlord and, therefore, the board felt it was fair to return amounts that had been charged on that basis. It was providing for just over €400,000 to be reimbursed.
