I thank everyone for coming in today. There was more detail on data sharing on road safety in the material that came with the opening statement but I will ask this for the benefit of those watching. The opening statement referred to data sharing taking place in some form. The locations of interest and local authorities can apply under a location of interest safety scheme and 55 did last year. There are 60 schemes this year. In the coming weeks, the RSA will be working with other agencies, including An Garda Síochána, on a submission to the Data Protection Commissioner, DPC, regarding legislation. What is the gap between what is happening on data sharing now and what is needed in legislation?
