That is okay. My team has done work on purchase order data throughout the country across all State entities and Departments. One interesting thing about An Garda Síochána is that in 2024 more than 80 purchase orders were raised by Accenture to the tune of €30 million. It was one of the force's largest suppliers. Similarly, in the first few months of this year, €5.9 million of purchase orders has already been raised. This information is available publicly on the Garda's website, but why is so much money - this is nothing against Accenture - being paid out to consultants?
