I will leave it at that. We have not had time to go into the substance of the work the Department has been doing.
Reading the report and listening to the presentation, I can see the Department has done fantastic work managing the various difficulties it experienced, in terms of the amount of money and debt involved, to reach a stage at which it was able to save 25% in 2013. That must be one of the highest ever savings in the running of a Department - €8.6 million achieved through a series of steps to modernise the Department.
