The Minister has answered some of the questions and has been misleading on others. I will return to that. This has been a shambles from day 1. The Department's handling of the Data Protection Commissioner's entire investigation, and even the format in which some of the material was sent to the investigation. I will not dwell on that as there are more important questions for which I require answers. This was the first investigation but another is ongoing onto biometrics and the card. What stage is that investigation at? Has the Minister engaged with the Data Protection Commissioner on that? Has it furnished the Department with a series of questions and areas on which it seeks clarity or further information? Has the Minister seen a report or draft stemming from that?
