Mr. Derek Tierney:

I have to be clear for the record and for everybody looking in that we are vendor agnostic. We will be very clear about what our requirements are. There will be a requirement for interoperability with existing systems in Ireland so we can get that transfer Mr. O'Connor is allowing for in our underpinning health information Bill. All the vendors deal with interoperability and data flow so that should not be an onerous requirement. We want to get the best value for money going into a competition.
