Ms Josephine Feehily:

It is simply a question that we must get to it. The Collector General can provide more information on out debt management process if the Deputy wishes. We have debt management teams which work the debt on a tiered risk basis. In the report the Comptroller and Auditor General draws attention to our new arrears case analysis tool, ACAT, which analyses debt. It is a question of getting to it. It was not under activity when the table was drawn up.
