Ms Oonagh McPhillips:
The Deputy is referring to the unusual things. If, for argument's sake, there was another insolvency service in the morning that had to be established within a set period, I think what we would lose now a little is the flexibility to develop something very quickly because I think we prioritise the governance of the project as much as we would the delivery of the project. That is right and proper when we are talking about public funds. There are ten members in total on the governance group. Mr. O'Sullivan chairs it at the moment; I chaired it previously, in a different life. As I said, there are three external members and then the relevant people in the Department: a representative of a line division user, a representative of an agency, etc.
