Mr. Paul Kenny:

I have a concern in that up to now we have not had a policy of destroying files after a particular time.

It means we have information in our files for quite a long time. People may come back years later, having decided they want to sue the Garda Commissioner or something like that, and do a trawl under the guise of data protection for information they feel may assist them in pursuit of that lawsuit. I do not think it is morally right.
