Chapter 11: VAT on Intra-Community Trade

Ms Josephine Feehily:
I am sorry Chairman. I am trying to get my mind away from VAT to focus on debt. Of the €2 billion debt outstanding, €37 million is debt over ten years old. I do not have the information with me but some of that debt is still under appeal. Debt under appeal can go all the way to the Supreme Court and we have some very old appeals that go on and on.
