Mr. Richard Fallon:

What I am saying is that the Deputy is entitled to his view. However, I can say that, in the context of my Department and on foot of the earlier discussions with Deputy Cullinane who raised the issue of how Departments are responding to the report, the public services card is not required in order for people to make a citizenship applications, that the relevant application forms have been amended to this effect and that our website is being updated. We are responding to the report but this is all in the wider context of the interpretation of the application of data protection law and the Government's position as one of those stakeholders that come under its remit.
