I appreciate that. It is an amendment. It was not part of the legislation. It was not discussed and it is quite technical. If I go to buy a car through a PCP tomorrow morning and I provide my PPS number to whoever I am buying the car from, that is now going to be provided to the Central Bank. What will the Central Bank do with my PPS number? Will it contact the Department of Social Protection and ask if the number assigned to Pearse Doherty is an accurate, valid number? Is that before or after the credit is provided to me?
