Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. I hope he is making a full recovery after his recent trip to the hospital.

I will not go over the ground covered by Deputy Michael McGrath. Page 5 refers to office equipment and external IT costs, for which over €1 million has been budgeted. Some of those costs are offset by public expenditure and reform savings. Does the Department have any plans to follow the lead of the Central Bank in outsourcing an increasing number of its IT systems? Does it intend to keep them in-house?
