John McGuinness: To go back to the issue of the actual costs, which was dealt with by Deputy O'Donovan. We have learned our lessons from this. Will Mr. Griffin go back over the final costs for me and are there any further costs to be incurred?

John McGuinness: In the context of the design, the licensing and the incentives for the use of the Eircode, is there a built-in mechanism in the arrangement to allow for improvements? If a problem arises here or there, does that problem get resolved without a cost to the Department? As the Department rolls out a system, it will find issues with it. I presume that will not come back to the Department.

John McGuinness: Mr. Griffin better get them signed off before next Tuesday; he would want to be in a hurry with that. Those two figures stood out in my mind because of the fact that Mr. Griffin does not deal directly with this. Does it then just give the Department its accounts and the Department goes through them?
