Denis Naughten: ...were a year behind. We were getting the expenditure and targets within the Department but the outcomes were a year behind in terms of what was being generated through the CSO.

Denis Naughten: ...were previously submitted. If we can reduce that, it will change the statistics we are dealing with here and benefit everyone.
