I have been advised by the Revenue Commissioners that, as stated in my reply to a similar question from the Deputy on 13 October 2005, outstanding arrears for 2004 were sizeable and collection of those arrears had not commenced. An additional amount becoming available for 2004 by way of home improvement credit was therefore offset against the outstanding arrears.
