If there are no other members of the committee with questions, I have a couple of points. There have been a number of questions focusing on local authorities and other public bodies. Does Mr. Kelleher believe that there is a need to upgrade the legislation about this area? I noted his earlier opening remarks where he talked about fines. At the end of the day, it is coming out of the one pot into which it is going to return in any event. It is not about the fine. The fine is a disincentive to bad practice. What other alternatives are there to ensure that the highest standards apply in local authorities? Are there other sanctions that can be considered, other than fines, that would help ensure that the highest standards apply to public data held by public bodies and local authorities? At the end of the day, the fines are academic. Are there any particular sanctions that Mr. Kelleher thinks could be considered in this regard, in the context of this legislation?
