The total expenditure on the renewal of Lotus Notes licences by the Department of Defence since 2009 to date in 2019 is €134,241.

My Department continuously reviews software technologies in use and therefore, licence requirements and costs are subject to change.  However, if current licensing structures and requirements were to remain unchanged, the total projected spend for Lotus Notes licence renewals would be in the region of €60,000 over the next five years.
