Mr. Noel Waters:

We will supply the committee with that information. We take the Chairman's comments on board. We do not like writing off a significant amount of taxpayers' money that is owed by another arm of the State, but we must acknowledge how far we can go. We will re-examine the issue to determine whether there are other measures that we can take to get greater compliance.
