I will keep this short and ask Mr. McKeon to keep his replies short too.
On the public services card, is it the case that the Data Protection Commissioner, DPC, visited D'Olier Street in March of this year and looked at the biometric nature of the data and the Department then had to follow up with responses? I understand that was done a few months ago, in July or August. The Department had to make submissions to the DPC in response. The process is fairly far along at this point and the next stage is the publication of the report. Is that Mr. McKeon's understanding of the situation?
