In 2010 Waterways Ireland spent €1,476,125 on “ICT, including staff costs, support and maintenance services, hardware, software, and external resources, including consultancies, contractors and service providers”.
Not a lot of people, apart from Billy Kelleher TD, know that.
And, thanks to Mary Lou McDonald TD, we know that WI had 359.81 whole-time equivalent staff on 30 September 2011.
