Mr. John McKeon:
I do not think it is accurate to say that. The findings of the Data Protection Commissioner have to be given force in an enforcement notice and the Oireachtas has provided that, even when they are given that force, the people subject to it have 21 days to appeal and it does not have force until the appeal is determined. We are waiting for it and have asked the Data Protection Commissioner to give it to us as quickly as possible.
