When I listen to colleagues I am tempted to ask the Minister what the figure of €92,000 for public relations out of a budget of €2.572 billion would be as a percentage. We can try to use up the committee's time to further an agenda or we can look at the Estimates and the Votes. I apologise for missing the start of the Minister's contribution but I am particularly interested in the IT expenditure budget. There is a substantial figure for it. It is a critical area, as we have seen with regard to An Garda Síochána over the last number of months. Will the Minister elaborate further on it and particularly on how expenditure this year might deal with some of the IT issues which have been highlighted in recent weeks?
