I thank the Chairman and welcome Ms O'Donoghue and her officials. I will go back to Deputy Deasy's line of questioning on the public services card. I found the figures interesting. There have been 1.4 million cards issued, so 62 cases is an extremely small number. The anecdotal evidence is that identity fraud and cases of multiple claims by a single claimant, with people signing on, for example, in Galway, Roscommon, and Mayo, is something that is very common, but with the facial identification software, 62 cases identified out of 1.4 million is quite small. Is the Department surprised by that figure or is it confident that the facial identification software is 100% accurate and is working as expected?
