Mr. Mark O'Mahony:
I think the position was not entirely apparent to us in 2016. We were established in March of that year. We did not have a picture at that stage in the ramp up in the number of appeals that were going to be coming to us. We knew that inevitably, when Revenue stopped acting as a filter, there would be more. We knew there was going to be a huge volume of legacy appeals coming to us.
