Vote 18 - National Shared Services Office
Chapter 5 – Implementation of Financial Management Shared Services (16 Feb 2021)

Cormac Devlin: I accept that. Again, Ms Murphy-Fagan might come back to us with the cost. It seems that today is all about costs. I accept the system is complex and that deadlines are moved but the sheer volume of costs we are speaking about is phenomenal. Ms Murphy-Fagan might come back to the committee on this.

Cormac Devlin: That is no problem. If I can, in the last minute of my time, I will ask a question of the Comptroller and Auditor General and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
