Ms Josephine Feehily:

I have not taken legal advice in the manner which the Senator means. We are very familiar with the Data Protection Act. We have been audited up, down and sideways by the Data Protection Commissioner's office and have an ongoing relationship with that office. We are very clear that if we were to move into this business we would have to have a long conversation with the Data Protection Commissioner. I would be surprised if that office did not take a very keen interest and put us through the hoops. The first question they would be asking is why we need this data and I would be saying that we do not need it because we have other payment options.
