Deputy Clare Day stated that a number of her questions had already been asked by colleagues. She has done the same to me in respect of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service, INIS. I would like confirmation that INIS is accountable to the DPC regarding any issue that the commission wishes to raise and that those who are applicants for consideration by INIS in terms of their status and standing in this jurisdiction are also entitled to the same protections as citizens. Is that the case? Yes. I thank our guests for that.

It was stated that the DPC's remit as a regulator applies regardless of industry. Reference was made to the 15 inquiries relating to the multinational technology sector and that a further 33 domestic statutory inquiries are under consideration. They have been referred to during the course of the exchanges here this morning. Do any of those domestic statutory inquiries apply to any of the banking institutions functioning in this jurisdiction?
