Madam, - If VHI is sold in the near future I presume that the new owner(s) will repay the surplus of the fee increases that have enabled the company to make a profit of €33.8 million. That will be just over €20 per subscriber for this year. Mind you, by the time it is sold the Minister may well have sanctioned yet another fee increase. Ah well, that will leave the new owner with even more scope for generosity! -Is mise,
CIARÁN MAC AONGHUSA, Nice, An Fhrainc.
