Rather than repeat what I said in my reply, I will revert to my officials. If there are other costs or ancillary costs, I will get the officials from the Department to shed more light on them. The important point about costs is something on which all Departments have to be focused, namely, efficiency. There is a lot of engagement with An Post, for example, in terms of data. It has a geodirectory and information systems. Where there are efficiencies and savings can be made, there is no doubt that the Minister, Deputy White, will ensure that will be done. If there are ancillary costs and a further breakdown other than the information available here, I will get officials to get in touch with the Deputy directly.
