Vote 39 (Office of Government Procurement) (Revised) (22 Jun 2016) Paschal Donohoe: I will ask the Minister of State, Deputy Eoghan Murphy, to deal with the IT and procurement issues raised by Deputy Sherlock. I will begin with the programmes mentioned by Deputy Sherlock, SEUPB and PEACE. Of course, I am very much aware of the role played by Deputy Sherlock in his previous role negotiating the Fresh Start agreement and the further progress that was made in Northern...

Vote 39 (Office of Government Procurement) (Revised) (22 Jun 2016) Paschal Donohoe: There are four more Departments to go. We believe we are on track to move most target Departments in, and the benefit of that is that when PeoplePoint is fully up and running and all the target organisations are in, it will deliver €3.7 million in savings per year. The objective is that all the transactions being conducted by individual Departments will be moved to a central unit. ...

Vote 39 (Office of Government Procurement) (Revised) (22 Jun 2016) Paschal Donohoe: I will have to ask the Deputy to clarify his question about the lump sum so that I can answer it accurately, but I can answer the others now. I agree with him about sharing information with the committee. We will change that in future. In 2015 there were 21,794 people in receipt of the payments covered by the superannuation Vote, and in 2016 that went up to 22,825. The largest subheads...

Vote 39 (Office of Government Procurement) (Revised) (22 Jun 2016) Paschal Donohoe: No. The reason for that is that the earlier figure I gave includes people who are in receipt of pensions already, whereas the figure cited by the Deputy of 2,400 - I will be corrected by an official if I am wrong - will mostly focus on people who are exiting the Civil Service and public service who are about to join the fund. To put it more plainly, the 2,400 figure might be interpreted as...

That provision is a prudent contingency. If the Deputy wishes to get any more information on that beyond what I have said,...
