Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
Tusla emerged from the HSE, where there was a systemic problem with procurement. I referred to that in the HSE financial statements. It is an indication Tusla is beginning to address the problem but in the case of some of the expenditures and contracts it has in place, it refers to them as legacy.
They are six years on from establishment. It is about time that these legacy contracts were dealt with.
