Eoghan Kenny: This is unbelievable. I will move on. I am running out of questions now, nearly. I will ask about the fingerprint system within An Garda Síochána. The Secretary General is not the Accounting Officer and that is fine but is the Department of justice aware of the annual cost of maintaining the system?
