There seems to be a lack of urgency in doing this work. I will move on because I have only nine minutes left.
My next comments are on the two Votes and I will commence with the Defence Vote. In 2015 there was a write-off of €8.2 million worth of obsolete stock compared with €4.9 million in 2014, which is an increase of 67%. I am concerned about the increase as it looks like a huge volume of obsolete stock was discovered.
