Mr. Tony O'Brien:

In the area the Deputy represents, the staff are paid on one of the phases of PPARS and we have very good information. We have certain levels of information in one place and different levels of information in other places and joining that up to provide a consistent national picture is the challenge. Things may well have been better had PPARS been completed. The fact is, it was not completed. It is not a realistic option at this time. The net position is that we do not have a single consistent national payroll system which is why we have a challenge in providing consistent information.
