Mr. Gordon Jeyes:

We do not even have the specification yet because we are not getting off the back foot. We need to get the specification correct. My colleague, who is leading on that, came across from the National Educational Welfare Board. She is excellent but I cannot clone her. One can imagine the number of day-to-day demands coming from 4,000 staff to plan, for example, improving the network arrangements in Laois and a dozen other requests every day. On the issue of ICT, we need to plan and we need to eventually get there. In Government terms, speaking to ICT control in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, we would be a top ten priority. I will not name it but an organisation of 195 staff has 20 ICT staff. A large council with about 5,000 staff has 64 ICT staff. We have two ICT staff and we inherited a broken ICT system.
