Mr. Moloney is telling us that other Departments did not believe that these data were necessary. The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform shut Benefacts down. Now, one of the Departments that it engaged with is saying that it is interested in developing a replica database through Pobal. Nothing was put in place to keep the database populated, and databases quickly go redundant once they are not populated. How can Mr. Moloney square that circle? The other Department does not believe there is any value in the database yet it wants another one.
