Mr. Noel Brett:

They are the issues we will want to work out bilaterally with the Law Society. The system needs to be resilient. We need to make sure that if there are service or system outages, there is a quick process to get it back and we are not depending on people elsewhere to sort it out. We note in Teranet’s proposal that its system will be based in Ireland. That has operational benefits, as well as security and data benefits.

When I talk about system resilience, integrity, recoverability and service levels, that is specifically what I am referring to. That is best dealt with bilaterally in the working group that we have agreed.

In terms of the mandatory piece, I would echo what Mr. Dorgan has said. My predecessors set that out in 2013 as one of their major concerns. If we need to come back for legislation after we have done some work across all of the agencies, it would be helpful that the committee would be receptive to that.
