Mr. Niall Cody:
Let me outline one of the things we have done for nearly the past ten years. Since there is a four-year limit, we consider every year those people who have not claimed anything for the four years. Before the fourth year expires, we write to them and state that, per our records, they have not claimed anything but have paid tax, and we give them a reminder. We have written to people stating they appear to be owed money by us and that they should do what we outline. Some of them do not respond to a direct letter.
