Kieran O'Donnell: May I interrupt while the officials are looking it up? The large cases division only accounted for 6% of overall interest payments.

Kieran O'Donnell: In both those cases there was no publication because penalties were not applied. Revenue produces an annual settlement list. Does that involve the amount that is assessed or is it the amount that they physically pay?

Kieran O'Donnell: I will make a slight change of direction. I welcome Ms Feehily and her colleagues. The home renovation incentive scheme was announced in the most recent budget.
