I think that is very positive. The ability to input in real time will help the Garda's data. When there is a gap between people's operations out in the field and their work at the desk, there can be a mismatch between data submissions. I welcome what Mr. Twomey said. I know that members of other police forces, particularly in the US, which is always the first with IT, go around with handheld devices all the time. It is good to see that PULSE is moving on that.

Mr. Harris mentioned during his last appearance before this committee that the Garda has ongoing engagement with the CSO with regard to data. I understand there is disagreement in this regard. It seems the CSO will not fully approve certain data. It is applying a qualification to some data that are submitted. When does Mr. Harris expect that this will be resolved? Will he update the committee on it?
