I apologise if I am going over territory that has been gone over already. It is because I had to leave the room to attend another meeting.

I want to refer to page 3 of the opening statement in regard to data protection. Many multinational companies have their European headquarters in Ireland and they are particularly in the area where data and data protection is a very prominent issue. We are essentially the European regulator, not just the Irish regulator. Is there work going on in regard to scoping out that obligation, given it is a big obligation? Are there any indicative costs associated with that?
