Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

We take this matter very seriously. We appreciate the concerns expressed by the Deputy. More effort and energy has been put into reviewing our initial approach, whether by the Department's officials or auditors and the Comptroller and Auditor General's report. We have learned a great deal from the various reviews and audits that have been undertaken. In terms of the comparison between how we are doing relative to others internationally, which I covered earlier, we do not have information on international comparisons since 2012, but on average we are 10% better than the average on average.
