I thank the witnesses for coming in. It is refreshing to have 66% women on the committee. We have a nice 50:50 balance in the witnesses today, which is very unusual in the Committee of Public Accounts and in these Houses in general.
I will start with the Vote for the Office of the Attorney General. There is a contract for €147,096 for services. I ask for detail on that contract and why it did not comply with procurement rules. The money was spent on parliamentary services.
