Mr. Peter Finnegan:

Yes. In terms of the programme itself, the programme came in at €11.36 million. Software maintenance, which would include things like Microsoft licences, came in at roughly €2.6 million. Our managed serviced support with Fujitsu was €1.37 million. On printing equipment, we replaced our printer and the print unit came in at approximately €1.3 million. Hardware was approximately €864,000. Our sound contract came in at €678,000. That would be the sound contract in the Dáil, Seanad and four committee rooms. Our network expansion, which would be our Wi-Fi and so forth, came in at €618,000. The final items within that overall figure of €22.7 million would be things like consumables and stationery for the Oireachtas, the cost of our website, servers and backup units, our managed print service, office equipment, and some kinds of minor miscellaneous costs.
