Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)

I know the Minister had a difficulty with e-voting machines when there was no verifiable paper trail before the election but, like everything in his party's manifesto, it has been torn up. Does he accept that those machines are effectively obsolete? Does he also accept that this is a more meaningful way of making savings in his Department rather than the proposal he came up with this week?
