Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

I do not consider it is waste. The cost of €1 million to put on CD-ROM all our legislation since the foundation of the State, from 1922 to 1997, including the chronological tables, is not great in technology terms. Unfortunately, there was an error in it which must be rectified and the project team has been working on that. It has moved on to examine many other successful aspects of the technology in that Department but an error occurred in this area which must be corrected. The team must now find the programme codes whereby this can be done. To this end, a company has been brought in to help and the contract has been prepared for this purpose.
