Before I touch on PPPs, I have another question for Mr. Watt. I am not straying into public sector pay. We have talked about savings and procurement. What other savings can the Department achieve in the public service that are non-pay and non-procurement through efficiencies? In respect of Croke Park and interim reports, they were always able to demonstrate large non-pay savings of which procurement would have been a significant part although not the sole item. We have touched on payroll and procurement. What is the Department's scope for savings in the public service through other efficiencies?
