Mr. John McKeon:
The timing of the enforcement notice is in the gift of the Data Protection Commission. As I understand it, there is no requirement on the Data Protection Commissioner to issue an enforcement notice, not to issue an enforcement notice or to do so within a particular period. I may be wrong, I may be corrected, but the Data Protection Commission has indicated that it is going to issue an enforcement notice imminently. Obviously, we want to receive it as soon as possible.
