Mr. Michael Donnellan:

Yes, until such time as we find other ways out of contracts. For instance, all locking systems in Irish the Prison Service, with the exception of those used in Cork, are procured through Chubb. In Cork we have introduced a different locking system which will allow us to break into another supplier. All of the requirements for parts and replacements have to be met through that process. Similarly, our time and attendance system is very expensive. We are developing our own system in-house which will save €1.5 million. Over time, we hope to take this figure down to around €3.5 million or €4 million.
