I take the Deputy's points. What I was trying to say is that although I believe GDPR entails European legislation, we have much flexibility in how we implement it and that if we do change our laws to provide for the sharing of data in particular circumstances, we can use this. I understand the Deputy's frustration from having asked parliamentary questions myself and from having had all the important information edited out. I am not sure where it gets changed. Is it a matter for the Office of the Ceann Comhairle or whoever sets the rules on Dáil questions? Perhaps we can make new legislation — we are all legislators — to allow for the information to be published at the time it is used, so it will be useful and will not be presenting information in the abstract. It is not an impossible matter to deal with; it is something we can change by changing our rules. That is what we are doing here today.
