The answer to this question might be the same but does Mr. Watt have any view on or responsibility for the system in place that is provided by a company called FlexTime? This system is used by both staff in the Houses of the Oireachtas and Deputies. When the staff clock in, it records the time the staff clock in at, clock out at and so on. I have requested my own records but it seems that for Deputies, the time is not recorded. At some point, a decision was made somewhere to request that this recording of time was not included in the system that was procured from FlexTime. Unfortunately, that makes it more difficult to establish whether Deputies were fobbing themselves in and then leaving to go to whatever place or country, or whether they had someone else fob in for them. Does Mr. Watt have any insight or information about how that decision was made?
