I want to go back to procurement and the financial side of things. I note from the Comptroller and Auditor General's report that most of the issues with procurement are beyond the 2019 session but are ongoing because of contractual obligations.

Caranua was set up in 2012 and it is under the Department of Education. Procurement comes up repeatedly in this committee. Obviously, Caranua struggled in some sense with the constraints of people from whom they were getting quotes and the procurement process. When Caranua was setting up the procurement processes, what kind of guidance and intervention was it given by either the then Department of Education and Science or the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
