Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)

I am not rejecting any accurate system. It will be up to the competitive tendering process to decide on which system. I have had several good conversations with the Data Protection Commissioner, who has the important job of protecting people from invasion of privacy. That can be done while still delivering a system with the level of accuracy we need for locational code purposes and in the postal code system. It must be done to the satisfaction of the Data Protection Commissioner and I believe it can be done. It must also deliver a range of different services as well as the postal code service. That is what we are seeking in the tendering system, to deliver the best technical solution at the best cost while giving us the services we need.
