Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

We will keep it under constant review in the context of the review we have under way and in terms of the effectiveness of the work. The issue for us is once a system is put in place, we cannot simply turn it off because there are people in the process and there are a number of years of lead-in. We made a decision to go with the CDVEC well over a year in advance of the first processing taking place. There is a need for long-term planning for any change in terms of who is processing grants centrally.
