Mr. Mark O'Mahony:

We have a system in place that we got three years ago. The office had a staff of four people at the time. We were told that we needed a new IT system. We asked the Revenue Commissioners, under our service-level agreement, to advise us about what we needed and what was appropriate. They did so, we got it and it does not appear to have been sufficient or appropriate. We have a project manager working for us on a contract basis who has significant IT experience and he has prepared a list of what he believes is appropriate and necessary for us to have. We hoped that we would have a procurement exercise completed for that in 2017 and that we would be able to use our 2017 budget for that. We were not able to complete it on time, so that money was unspent. I have explained the delays and difficulties we have had.
