I just feel it is an organisation that may have run away with itself and has now expanded to a point where it has lost control. Governance is now more important than ever before. Beyond the €6.7 million IT write-off, what were the associated staff costs for that project? How many people in the Arts Council were directly working on it? Are there any other strategic project costs that when added, pushed the total misspend over to, say, €10 million?
