Apparently Mr Ahern believes if the original software cost only €500,000, then the replacement software should cost the same.

However, the original software was written by one developer. The Taoiseach is now planning an international body of experts to oversee the redevelopment. No doubt they will be ably assisted by legions of consultants and advisers.
