I am not really asking about that, because I fully understand that as we all dealt with it at the time. I am asking about the risk aspects. When we were speaking to the HSE, we found that there was no identifiable person who had responsibility for oversight in that area. If this something the Department differs in? When we addressed some elements of the issue with data security last year, it was in the context of people working remotely. Where there had to be a virtual private network, VPN, there was an additional energy cost because machines had to be kept on in the Department. Is Mr. McKeon satisfied that the Department is properly protected in the area of data security?
