Mr. Conor Brennan:

Yes. We understand there are four databases operating. I would say "Yes" to the Deputy's second question as well. The quality of data received needs to be aligned and standardised and then it should feed into a central repository or application programming interface, API, system. It is worth noting why we are stressing this. Because microchipping is universal with dogs it unlocks a lot of solutions for reunification and enforcement and it ties in to so many different aspects that are emerging, such as the new rules on online sale and supply of pet animals where the owner gives the microchipping number and uses the verification system. We are stressing this because we feel that will open the door to a lot of solutions.
