As I cannot see the witness's name, I cannot refer to her directly, but she referred a couple of times to the causeway system in Northern Ireland in reference to the justice hub. The Chairman mentioned the Central Statistics Office, CSO, and that we did not want to see a situation to arise where the work was done and the CSO might complain about the form the statistics took. As mentioned, the same applies to the GDPR. Can we be confident that when the justice hub is completed - I would like to hear the projected finishing date - we will not find ourselves in a situation where concerns will be raised that the enterprise is in breach of it in dealing with people's personal data? We want to make sure it is not a waste of time and money.
