Mr. Cathal Guiomard:

The work on those IT projects had occurred over a number of years so the timing, I must concede, was not great, given economic conditions at the time. I had waited until the end of the project to make the payment and 2010 was when that happened. Pointing to the chart, despite those payments, we have nonetheless managed to bring about a substantial reduction in the total expenditure of the office, which is the main point of interest, rather than individual budget lines.
