Public Accounts Committee

2018 Financial Statements of An Bord Pleanála

9:00 am

Mr. Dave Walsh:

We have a number of contracts. This is a new IT technical system so we had experts to advise us and to help us to assess and speak the technical language. OpenSky Data Systems is the main service provider of the IT language and the system. We had PwC supporting us for the first three or four years and we now have other consultants supporting us as business managers and analysts. Overall, in 2014 we spent approximately €138,000, in 2015 we spent €388,000 and in 2016 it was €572,000. When it went live internally in 2017 the spend was €1.319 million, and in 2018 the spend was €456,000. That gives a total of €2.875 million spent to the end of 2018, with a further €174,000 spent this year so far.
