Things do change. Staff will say a service was on the old system but not on the new one, for example. What I suggest does not represent a big cost. Staff are being sent around with the hardware and should also be sent around to give a bit of help with the software. The constituency staff are Oireachtas staff and are making the whole system work. They are the utterly poor relations when it comes to training. I realise Mr. Finnegan will say emails go out offering training but I am more interested in the take-up of training. The delegates might consider that.
