Mr. John McKeon:

No, sorry. It has the authority to issue an enforcement notice. I suppose that when it publishes a report that has adverse findings, it has to be careful about putting it into the public domain. I respect this position of the Data Protection Commission. I suppose it took the view in this instance that it could not do so. It decided that it was up to us to publish it.
