Ms Josephine Feehily:

More of that will certainly happen in respect of household charges if people do not comply. We have a line of sight by matching those 460,000 cases with our tax databases. We can see that 240,000 of them are in PAYE employment. There is a cohort to whom we can apply that mandatory deduction straightaway, if they do not engage with us soon.
