I wish to raise a few other issues. In all situations where the Comptroller and Auditor General refers to non-compliance with procurement, we should de facto write and find out what the issue is. We have been doing that and I believe that is good practice.
I refer to the ICT breach in both the HSE and Tusla. Given the extent of what happened there, and we certainly do not want to be giving information to people whom one does not want to get that information, understanding that and having a proper understanding of how it can be avoided is something that we should consider examining, perhaps in a year's time or early next year when there is full sight of exactly what the fallout is from it.
Finally, there is the National Transport Authority, NTA. There is €400,000 between 2015 and 2020 for a project that it was decided to terminate. I would like to know more about that.
