On reading the documentation I had a degree of sympathy - I say in jest that this is coming from me - because if we look at the projects, there were moving targets. In a previous life I was involved in large-scale IT projects. If those involved do not have defined terms and goals, they really face extended costs and timelines. As part of the process with the troika, potentially we could see other IT projects that were still ongoing and coming before us from other Departments as a result of similar circumstances.

I will jump around the place with reference to other areas. The premises of the Probation Service constitutes a very unusual story, of which Ms McPhillips outlined a little in her opening statement. From where did the calculation of €1.8 million as the settlement figure come?
