I will just state- maybe this is something for the Minister, Deputy Donohoe, under public expenditure rather than yourself - it is very challenging trying to find out why and how much money is allocated for consultants. My concern is if we are losing so much expertise within the Departments that we really need to have and to build up as an asset for the State, rather than contracting everything out. Also, are the decisions that are made being made by the Government or by consultants?
