Mr. Martin Fraser:

No, I do not think that is quite true. It is partly true, of course, because, obviously, try as it might, the Taoiseach's Department cannot avoid politics.

The Deputy asked me about websites. As the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and the Office of the Chief Government Information Officer developed gov.ie,they have developed the technology platform. Obviously, they would be very involved in the development of technology platforms. That is a certain function they have. They also have a function in shared services. If one likes, they have lots of central functions.
