Does the Minister agree with the Comptroller and Auditor General when he stated that the current practice of including all overpayments arising from control activity as bankable savings is questionable? He was referring to the sum of €25 million in fraud but that equates to only 0.1% of the total budget. Overpayments from bureaucratic administration or applicants' errors account for €83 million. Does the Minister agree that that combined figure is a lot less than the €600 million she has been quoting?
