It is an obvious question. Due to challenges posed by the legacy payroll systems, of which there are eight - Mr. Barry O'Brien will appreciate this is about analysing information and the questions asked by Deputy McDonald in respect of absenteeism, the figures for which are not to hand - I thought a report would be available showing the total numbers and the cost. Obviously it is difficult for the representatives to manage if information is not available. At the time PPARS was supposed to be a silver bullet, but it fell like a stone.
