Mr. Robert Watt:

We absolutely have those conversations, every week. We have 150 people in the Department, the Vote officers, who are facing each of the Departments. They spend all their time every day engaging with their counterparts in the Departments. They talk about what has happened with spending and projects and they identify areas of efficiency. They ask questions and probe. In respect of each of the areas identified in the report, we engage with the relevant Department and ask how and why a certain occurrence might have happened. We ask what changes can be made to ensure it will not happen again. We ask how it will be reflected in the Estimates for the next year. That happens in terms of every single area of spending and every single one of the recommendations. Perhaps somebody in the Department has done a tot; I do not have one to hand myself. Perhaps Mr. McCarthy has done so himself. The key point is that, in relation to each area of spending where there are areas of inefficiency or bad practice identified, we follow it up. For example, the report on procurement sets out that there is €250 million in procurement undertaken without competitive competition. We have gone through that in detail. Some €180 million relates to the An Post matter. The Deputy knows the position on that.
