I welcome the witnesses and thank them for their presentations and submissions. I want to return to the issue of data collection at the airport. At the weekend, the Tánaiste said the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection had obtained data from the airports. Mr. Gray must be in a position to tell us who would have been able to provide that information to the Tánaiste. The passenger number register contains very sensitive and highly confidential data about passengers. Who has access to that register and who controls those other bodies or people who might get access?
