Mr. Martin Fraser:

The biggest by far is a contract with the company which designed and supplies the eCabinet system which was developed in the mid-2000s. It is proprietary software and it is the only company which can work on it. That accounts for most of the expenditure. Eir provides the switchboard in Government Buildings which is run by a couple of Eir telephonists who have been with us for a long time.

We have tendered for newspapers since, but it is very difficult to get value on them because they cost the same wherever they are bought. We buy them from a newsagent on Leeson Street. There was a company carrying out secretarial services for the Moriarty tribunal. Obviously, we do not decide on that. The Cregan commission employed an office equipment firm. The Moriarty tribunal also employed another company. I do not know what it was doing. We have to let the two tribunals and the commission do their thing.
