Moving on, Accenture has received 41 contracts since 2009. The witnesses might correct me if I am wrong. My figures come from Superintendent Helen Deely, the head of freedom of information matters at the Garda. I have raised the audit on numerous occasions. A particular part of it that was overlooked is the reference to the EU Commission. The audit states that the lack of expenditure controls may not satisfy the European Commission. Accenture has a few contracts concerned with European Union issues. These include the EURODAC project agreed in 2016, the Prüm project agreed in 2017 and the Schengen information project agreed in 2016. I do not have the value of those projects so will the witnesses tell me how much they are worth?
