Mr. Thomas Byrne:

To follow on the comments of Mr. O'Brien, he has covered the salient points in respect of what is happening. I mentioned previously that I was appointed to this role six months ago. It is important to state, however, that although the Comptroller and Auditor General's report states annually that the systems in place are not fit for the purpose for which they are intended, at the same time there is a rigorous audit carried out every year and, touch wood, we have had a clean audit every year. The issue arises from the number of finance staff, that is, approximately 60% of them, who spent their time working on systems that are not fit for purpose, not on front-line work or driving the business forward. That is what we intend to address. As for appointments, the question posed in that regard will be answered on Thursday. I think we have provided the information.
