Mr. John McKeon:
The Data Protection Commission, in its preliminary report, referred to the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General from 2016. It noted that the Comptroller and Auditor General said that, notwithstanding that there was no business case, 17 out of 19 elements were best practice and there is evidence that it was coherently planned. I am paraphrasing and Mr. McCarthy might correct me if I am wrong.
