It has not been possible to date to quantify the Revenue's claim in this case. When the Revenue's claim has been quantified it will be notified to the official liquidator appointed by the court, to whom all claims should be notified if they are to qualify for payment in accordance with clearly defined statutory provisions, to the extent that funds may in due course be available. The Revenue Commissioners have no authority to abate their claim in favour of other creditors.
