I hear the point the Minister is making and the logic is sound with regard to media outlets trying to find out the people involved. He said he believes this is required. The Mahon tribunal has made assertions that there is more to be done on the side of SIPO, but the Mahon tribunal is historical at this stage. In the number of years since SIPO has been in place, and while I do not want to go over the analysis in terms of what was inadequate in 2012, 2013 and 2014, I am questioning the extent to which it is currently inadequate. This is a fairly big change and I believe nobody knows about it.
