Seán Fleming: Ms Feehily has used the word "yield" there. "Yield" and "collected" are two different words, but the public would have thought they had the same meaning.

Seán Fleming: I will give the officials a few moments and move on. It probably would be useful, since the law changed in 2010 or 2011, if Ms Feehily sent us a summary of the published settlements or totals that appeared in the newspaper and the amount paid subsequently. More to the point, some of that will necessarily include phased payments or a schedule of payments. We accept and understand that....

Seán Fleming: What Ms Feehily stated is slightly disturbing in its own right. Revenue can conduct an audit and come to the conclusion, for example, that a person owes €385,000, including interest and penalties, but the guy puts his hands up stating he has not got a bob, so Revenue publishes that as an audit with nil yield. Revenue might not have collected it but it had determined an amount that...
