Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
The figure of €6.8 million to which the Chairman refers is the Exchequer extra receipt in 2011. I understand it relates to an advance to Bus Éireann, in 2010, which was in excess of what it required when the audited figures became available. The excess was remitted in 2011 but relates to a settlement in 2010.
