IT and computers are an issue I follow up on regularly at the committee. There is a significant allocation for that on page 13, under office equipment and external IT services. The estimate was over €4 million and the outturn was over €7 million. The Prison Service gives the reason for that as additional storage space. Does Ms McCaffrey see note 5? Can she clarify it?
