Mr. Ian Talbot mentioned that he would like to see more business process outsourcing. Will he please explain this a little more? In regard to his submission on procurement, we learned this morning from the County and City Managers' Association that Kerry County Council is the national procurement office for the local authorities and that within each local authority a procurement officer has been appointed. As there are some significant concerns, has Mr. Talbot met the association to address that issue and perhaps make proposals on how he sees it being rolled out?
