Ms Liz Joyce:

As I alluded to earlier, as an employer, we have confidentiality obligations. I can tell the committee that certain commuting expenses on which BIK was payable were paid by the FAI in 2022. That was taken into account in the remuneration. Unfortunately, due to a miscalculation, there was an overpayment of approximately €3,500 in 2022. The unintentional overpayment subsequently had to be reconciled. That was what happened with regard to the BIK issue.
