Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

Again, there is an assumption in what the Deputy is saying that the procurement has led to the difficulties and challenges. For me to get into talking about the calculated grades, on which, by the way, we have a session with the Joint Committee on Education in three weeks' time, it is necessary to set the context at the time. The Deputy set the context well in terms of the difficulties and challenges. Contingency work was under way and the State Examinations Commission engaged Polymetrika. The nature of the contract allowed for both advice on the development to feed into it as well as the potential for use in the implementation. Those things were linked.
