Mr. David Moloney:

The Office of the Government Chief Information Officer is a division of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. It provides advice and a resource to Departments that want to achieve ICT transformation. It has relationships with the chief information officers in most Departments. There is a network of people who share best practice and link in with each other. We would have traditionally taken an active role in trying to support those types of projects. The Chairman earlier mentioned the HSE IT and financial management system. We have become involved in groups trying to push that forward. We facilitate to the extent we can from the centre of those projects. However, at the end of the day, the organisations themselves must deliver.
