The point I would put to Ms McPhillips is I do not think there is fair, efficient and enforced system and those failures have increased the pressures seen with regard to the efficiencies and the length of time it has taken. I hear what Ms McPhillips is saying about the reduced timelines and also the enforcement. I think there have been serious failures there and, again, I will touch on some of those issues around deportation.
To return to the issue of the VAT overpayment of €7.4 million, Ms McPhillips stated that there was a settlement of €1.9 million. Am I correct with that figure?
