That is €230,000 in addition to the €460,000 relating to the other matters. In total, you are talking about €700,000, give or take, of penalties that will go to Revenue.

Turning to Mr. Moloney, how embarrassing is this for the Department of public expenditure and reform? Does the fact that his Department is subject to penalties of up to €700,000 from Revenue for failure to pay Revenue undermine his Department when it is telling other Departments how to spend their money?
