Ms Katherine Licken:
The audit that the Department of Social Protection is undertaking with RTÉ goes beyond those people identified for the Revenue settlement so it goes without saying that it is not for us to engage with them. They are engaging with RTÉ and the reason the process is taking so long is the Department of Social Protection is engaging with each individual as well as with RTÉ. It takes a lot of time to get it right.
