I thank Dr. Murphy. I wish to ask Mr. Ó Foghlú about the ongoing issue of public procurement. In his first rolling review he proposes to deal with the issue of procurement which is welcome but quite late in the day. Procurement issues arise here constantly more in breach than honouring the guidelines.

In respect of Waterford Institute of Technology, and I note that Professor Donnelly talked about the WIT's end of year accounts which struck me as a nice turn of phrase. It was mentioned that €524,000 of public procurement was transacted outside of the rules. Is that the figure Professor Donnelly gave us?
