That is not what was said in terms of the Secretary General of the Department. It was said that a full review is being carried out with corrective measures to put in place to ensure that Vote 12 is tax compliant going forward. We now find out they are far from that. Even though they paid the €2.3 million plus €500,000 in interest, we now know that loads of other people had their taxes wrongly calculated.
Let us go to this here. On the statement and from the information the Minister has, how many Ministers were overpaid and how many were underpaid?
