Mr. Michael O'Keeffe:

There are a couple of factors. One of the points is that the refund of the levy in 2011 highlighted by the Comptroller and Auditor General was rather high. That was the first year of operation of the levy and the procedure for the certification of qualifying income was a rather complex process. We involved Chartered Accountants Ireland in devising it. This meant that a rebate that could have occurred in 2010 did not occur until the first part of 2011. Effectively, they got two rebates during 2011. That has now been regularised. Effectively, each year after that it will appear probably in either the June or September invoice. I believe last year it was in the September invoice. We aim for the June invoice if the information comes in from the stations, but from here on they should get one rebate for the full year.
