This is a very serious issue and the Minister, Deputy Patrick O'Donovan, to be fair, is acting promptly on it. He briefed Cabinet in on to this IT project. There are issues in terms of the governance of that project and the eventual outcome. There has been huge expenditure on a product that has not emerged. There is not a new system in place. There are very serious issues.

The Comptroller and Auditor General has reported on this, I expect and anticipate that the Committee of Public Accounts will also examine this but it raises very serious issues.
