Mr. Michael Culhane:

As far as I am aware, the contract is with TETRA Ireland. It is for 15,700 licences. That is not just for hand-held devices; it is also for radios in cars, on motorbikes and so on. To reduce our expenditure on the Tetra radio system, in order to fit it into the budgetary provision, we wished to reduce the number of licences to live within the amount of moneys we had available in the Vote.
