Mr. John Palmer:

To the extent that it is within our remit, yes. However, once it is a crime, it is a crime. We have made it clear to the Department of Justice that we support the calls from the BPFI for the legislative changes they need to do the database. We very much welcome what we see in the Commission proposal, that it will give a Europe-wide legal basis for sharing fraud information.

I have read the transcript of the Deputy's engagement with the Department of Justice and the Garda Síochána. We welcome that they are moving ahead with that.
