Mr. Aidan O'Driscoll:

No, there was certainly a significant rise in 2017 and also in 2018. I was not in the Department then, but in fairness to it, when one looks at this objectively, the Department was trying to cope with those increased numbers. It was certainly conscious of the Comptroller and Auditor General's conclusions and did move and has moved to a tender basis now. In that tender basis, it has also moved to the requirement for higher standards within the centres.
