Ms Karen Trant:

I suppose a meter point reference number, MPRN, is personal data whether we like it or not. That is certainly what the Data Protection Commissioner said. We are putting in place the data access code. We have spoken to the Department about the challenges around that and will continue to speak to it. Ideally, as Ms MacEvilly said, if we could get an obligation on suppliers to access that information, that would be the better option.
