Certainly prior to that there were consultants there. I agree there is the potential for a huge conflict of interest, particularly where some consultants are not filling out their statutory declarations to SIPO. Essentially, I am not sure in all of the processes Mr. Sweeney has talked about that the proper safeguards are being adhered to and being implemented and I am really concerned around that oversight and due diligence piece for the potential for abusing a system without those safeguards in place.

I want to move on to a couple of other issues relating the IT system and the integrated human resource and payroll system. I think Deputy Farrelly mentioned it earlier on. Mr. Sweeney said there was a delay of nine months in the implementation of that. Is that correct?
