Mr. Niall Brunell:

I thank the Deputy for the question. An interdepartmental steering group has been working for quite some time now to advance a range of operational measures. The DSS has been in close consultation with the Data Protection Commissioner on issues around access to registers. There are several registers. These will be required not just around the context of the enduring power of attorney, EPA, but also as required by the 2015 Act, as amended. They are all being well progressed at this stage. The DSS has been working on a huge ICT project and we are confident that the public-facing elements of all the registers, all the forms and all the access requirements will be in place for when we go live.
