I want to discuss Vote 29 - IT and procurement overspends. Mr. Moloney will be aware that we had the Arts Council before us a few weeks ago. It had effectively wasted €6.7 million in taxpayers' money on a failed IT system. If the Department is involved in oversight, how could this have happened at its hand? How was this not sorted out before it ever came to us?
