When I get my payslip I do not say to the Government that I had planned to give them €2,000 when it asked for €2,500, so they are lucky to get it. The tax bills must be paid and the same applies to development levies. There should not be an attitude that they are lucky to get it. The council is owed a debt and although it has agreed to restructure it, I would not be saying that it is lucky to get that money.
