Ms Josephine Feehily:

It was not ours. It was designed differently by the Local Government Management Agency for a different purpose. There is one principal difference which I think explains most of it. Because it was principally an online facility, it was quite common for family members to pay the household charge for a parent. In that case, the system linked the property with the payer, not the owner, and that has left us with mismatches. That is why I am saying we do not have 100% confidence in the number, but we do know that there are several hundred thousand who have not paid. I am sure our matching is right in 80% or 90% of cases and we will be after those concerned. That is the message.
