We have paid €2.6 million to Accenture and Ms O'Donoghue said the Department was working internally to ensure that a new system went live and that all clients of the Department complied with policy and got their correct payments. Does it concern Ms O'Donoghue that over 53% of her staff have no recovery plans for overpayments from the Department? Is she concerned about how that might look to the public?
