Ms Josephine Feehily:
If I may finish, the Deputy mentioned social welfare categories. With regard to categories of persons on social welfare pensions who have not sent back a return - this brings me back to the discussion with Deputy O'Donnell - we will write to people in those categories and give them a much longer time of reminder.
We will be looking at this next year in the context of the Comptroller and Auditor General. My target this year is to collect €250 million. The legislation requires this to be paid by 1 July.
