Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

The Benefits of e-Conveyancing: Discussion (Resumed)

2:20 pm

Dr. Gabriel Brennan:

I was going to make the same point as Mr. Brett, namely, the major electronification of the process is between stakeholders as opposed to directly with the consumer.

We share the concerns about cyber attacks. We share all these concerns about security and data protection and we have done some work on that. Obviously, there is further work to be done. One of the major advantages of going with an international partner such as Teranet, which works with the Ontario Government and which has been given a 50-year licence by the Ontario Government to extend its service recently, is that the company works in that space already with sensitive public data and it has never had a security breach.

Obviously we are keen to ensure that kind of reputation is maintained with the system here.
