If doing this internally - having an Irish system for an Irish problem - is taking so much time, why can we not go internationally? I hope this is not a clumsy analogy but I am on the transport committee and the Irish Aviation Authority, IAA, is believed to have systems so far advanced internationally that it is now able to contract them out to other countries. Surely the NHS or other health systems have e-records that are far above what other countries do? Surely we can contract somebody? The IAA is going out to Greece. Surely we can get an EU or international system in here by contracting it out. Is that possible? Has it been explored?
