Page 22 of the report states the Department was responding to the report. It says, however the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection objects to the DPC's use of such language in this regard. That was to describe the evolution of the card in the first place and considers that it is "pejorative and sensationalist". Again, that strikes me as not being fully co-operative, in that a Department was essentially saying the commission's office was being sensationalist. How did the office respond to that?
