I have already told the Deputy what reviews are being done and I have also explained to him that the contract runs until the end of 2019 regardless of any reviews. We would only consider cancelling the contract if the contract was breached and it certainly has not been breached.

In terms of making money, it is important to bear in mind that these companies bore all of the start-up costs. Had the Department been obliged to set up that number of offices all around the country, it would have cost tens of millions of euro. The companies bore all the start-up costs and get paid by results.

It is a very good model from the point of view of taxpayers. They only get paid-----
