There is no need to be uncomfortable because this was announced with great fanfare. No one disagrees with the concept and logic of shared services offices and streamlining and professionalising services. We were told a €50 million savings figure would be achieved and I am trying to understand how much has been saved up to now. Ms Murphy-Fagan says it is €21 million and I am just asking where that figure has come from. As such, there is no need to be uncomfortable. They are very straightforward questions.
