I fully agree with Deputy Boland's comments and support the idea that the NTA comes before the committee. My concern is how likely is that estimated expenditure to be or is it likely to rise again. That is the assurance we need to seek at this point. Here we go again with ICT. There seems to be a real trend that has been emerging over the last couple of months and, I am sure, years, for these bodies. We potentially need to see the OGCIO in here at some point to see what services are available to bodies when they are conducting such significant projects that are potentially outside the normal wheelhouse of competency within organisations.
