Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

But the Departments that the NSSO is dealing with were notified with the amounts we have on record that are due for collection, the total being €4.6 million. Therefore, there is a discrepancy and there is a reconciliation process. It should be for every Department to understand that, if a figure is being put into the appropriation account that is different from the figure from the NSSO, one must be able to reconcile them.
