I appreciate that. We know from 2018 that the old system had to be replaced even though, as we have discovered, the Arts Council is still using the old system. Everyone will recall that we knew where the system was in 2023. What happened at the management committee in 2023? We were looking at a cost of €7 million. We knew the system was a mess. The then Minister had to answer questions in the Dáil. I presume people from the section were alongside the then Minister and giving her advice. She said that a new system would be in place by 2024. I am asking about the level of knowledge of the Department. Why were alarm bells not ringing?
