Ms Helena Kiely:

I am a member of the board, but I am not from the sponsoring Department. There is no finishing date as such. The system entails the development of a series of messages between agencies that in time will become more detailed. A number of projects that have to be completed very quickly have been identified, including recording court outcomes for statistical purposes and which many agencies require. We are planning to roll out that aspect in the latter part of the year. I am told by the IT and technical people that when it is rolled out, there will be near-time accuracy. In time, as we ensure the data are correct and of high quality, they will become real time data. There is a process which involves many of these projects to ensure the data will be of the correct quality.
