Mr. Ed Hearne:

The Deputy's point is well made. One of the strengths we have in this regard is that so much of our procurement is now done digitally and through eTenders and the wider European portals for major tender awards. That tells us that there is information available and there could well be more real time information. There is probably some limitation in relation to the publication of contracts pre-things like the expiration of the standstill periods and so forth, but they should not really pose a barrier to how we would be able to report in a more timely fashion. It will be complemented by the project my colleague talked about in relation to the tagging but we will take it away and speak to our colleagues in the Office of Public Procurement about how we can make a richer source of information available and one that is more up-to-date.
