It came as news to me that some of those on the defaulters' list were not going to pay.
I will move on to the local property tax. Ms Feehily said in the briefing notes she gave to us that €76 million was received in 2013 for 2014. Looking at those figures, I estimate that that probably equates to 250,000 properties, but Ms Feehily might give me a more exact figure. Arising out of what happened last November, has Ms Feehily made any changes for next November to prevent a situation in which hundreds of thousands of people pay their tax in advance? Now that everything has calmed down after that brouhaha, will it be repeated or have changes been made?
