I want to ask Mr. Byrne about the loss of data in Galway. The person involved should not be subjected to a witch hunt because accidents happen. I want to discuss the wider issue of officials moving from one branch to another while holding printed records of customer details. It is not something that many people understood happened. I would have thought data would be held in an encrypted format on technology devices, etc. Will Mr. Byrne explain the context? Will he explain what happens when staff move from one AIB unit to another? How are data handled? Can such a situation happen at any time through human error?
