Ms Josephine Feehily:
What I have said is that we achieve an 80% compliance rate across the taxes. I am optimistic that by the end of the year we will have gone ahead of that in regard to this particular tax. It must be borne in mind that in some cases compliance means having made a return and qualified for a deferral or an exemption. Compliance does not always mean a payment has been made. Our objective is to be north of 80% by the end of the year.
