Mr. Barry O'Brien:

We envisage doing that in the shortest possible timeframe. Once the options are considered, the cost benefit analysis is done and there is engagement under the external service delivery options under the public service agreement, we should be able to go ahead. If it was to be an in-house issue there is no doubt a significant infrastructural issue would emerge. We are striving for standardisation at every possible opportunity to maximise the number of staff we can deploy to the front line.
