Dr. Ruth Barrington:

I am going to share my time, if I may, with Ms Dromey. On the point of the register, I can understand that there could well be data protection issues, but the role of the Data Protection Commissioner is to ensure that the law is observed in the access and transfer of data, so if this Bill provides a mechanism for people to transfer the data from the passive register to the active register, it would save on resources and it would give a much quicker solution to what everybody wants to see.
