Ms Katherine Licken:
If the Deputy could just bear with me for a moment, I have a note on all of these, which I cannot locate. I have it here. We will come back to the committee, probably later today, with a note on these projects, because a note has been requested on them. A lot of them were contracts which we picked up. When we talk about governance, it was our own governance system that picked up the fact that these contracts had expired and had not been retendered.
A procurement manager has now been appointed for the genealogy service in the National Archives of Ireland. A new genealogical service contract was put in place in June 2021. Mr. Falvey might have more details on the contract.
