I thank the witnesses for all of that. In terms of that cost, a phenomenal amount of money has been spent. I shudder to think how much money was spent prior to 2014. Obviously, either catch-up was being played by the organisation and there was a lack of spend over time, or there was a complete revamp. From the end-user perspective of the website, particularly as I mentioned SHDs, from 2017 on there was very little improvement, if any, in the website's public interface. I am not saying that the staff have not been helpful to the public, and they have. However, from a complete project point of view, when so many applications were coming the way of An Bord Pleanála through the SHD process, and the strategic infrastructure as well, I question why it is only now, in 2021, that the website has been updated, given that, ironically, the SHDs are going to be phased out at the end of 2021.

Mr. Walsh might forward on those costs please after today's session.
