Ms Niamh O'Donoghue:
It is a CorePay system which operates across multiple Departments. Our contract with CorePay is probably for about 30 years. The Deputy will be aware that there is a Government decision to move all payroll systems to a shared services system over a number of years. CorePay is the payroll system being used by the shared services division. Our expectation is that it will be the end of 2017 before we move our payroll system to it.
